   About Nate & Kate

Nate & Kate

Nate was born on the hottest day of the year in a burnt-out farmhouse with no hot water in Wingdale, upstate-NY. He grew up chasing chickens, building tree forts, and playing shortstop. He made rollerblading videos and snowboarded in the winter. At 16 he learned to sing and play guitar with the local church choir. Nate played with friends in several high school rock bands, and began writing songs and traveled the country by station wagon at 18. He released his first album of all-original material, "Generation Why?," early the following year. He juggles 7 balls with good control and currently teaches and performs part-time as a juggler. Nate has now written over a hundred original songs, and he released 2 1/2 solo albums before "Nate & Kate."

Kate was raised in central NY singing and playing cello from the age of four. She has performed in numerous orchestras, string ensembles, and choirs. She has performed in some of Italy's most magnificent cathedrals as well as New York's Avery Fischer Hall with the Hamilton College Choir. Kate was lead singer for two rock bands before joining forces with Nate.

Nate & Kate met and began playing together in Binghamton, NY in 2005, and self-booked a 3-month tour of the Eastern-US that Fall ('05). They have continued touring, promoting, and writing, and released their debut album, "Fame by Frame" early summer 2007. Nate & Kate are continually performing the East Coast and New England, gaining Central-NY radio airplay, practicing new juggling routines and accompanying cello pieces, and developing new material for a follow-up record.

hey guys, how was the show in Elmira? Katie- I got your message, but we were in route through Elmira, dropping off the Bean at Nana's and Opa's, and then we went to Corning for tapas and ice cream. It was great! How is the gallery? Is it cool? I really should see it sometime. I'm excited to see the newest member of the Hand/Marshall family.
