He's a consummate entertainer!

Nate played for my 60th birthday party. I've seen him play other private parties, as well. He can play songs from the '60s up to today's current music. His original music is spectacular. He's a consummate entertainer. He'll take requests from the audience, putting smiles on the faces of people from 2 to 92. You won't go wrong hiring Nate Jones!

Singer songwriter from the heart

My mother lives in a memory care facility in Warwick, RI, I met Nate there singing and interacting with the residents.
Nate is such a special human, he sings from his heart, he speaks from his heart and the residents can not wait for him to come perform for them every week.
Nate is kind and makes the experience always one to remember.
The minute he walks in the mood changes.
Nate is an extremely talented performer and song writer, I love his original music as well as the songs he sings from other artists. Nate’s voice is very powerful and his songs are incredible.
Nate is a gift, if you have not heard his music or read his book I highly recommend both.
His presence and performance may change your life and perspective on life.
He is a gift and I am forever grateful to my mother as she gave me the chance to meet and hear Nate Jones.

He does it all

Nate is fantastic. He played the harp during my wedding ceremony. Then provided entertainment during cocktail hour. He then sang for our first dance. He learned the song at my request. He traveled about 80 miles each way for the event. His rates were far more reasonable than any other quotes received. Which made it all possible. Such a great find. He really helped to elevate our special night.

Nate Jones: a Must-See Local Talent!

I've had the pleasure of having Nate Jones play at two private summer events (and watching him at other local events). His voice is smooth and soulful, yet also energetic. Nate performed both original songs and a wide variety of well-known covers. He gives each song his unique touch, making it feel fresh, yet timeless. (You know it's great when the crowd sings along!)

Nate’s stage presence is genuinely warm and engaging. He connected with the audience effortlessly, creating a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. It’s clear he loves performing, and that passion comes through in every song. If you’re looking for a top-quality artist for an event, Nate is absolutely the one!

I look forward to having Nate play again.
