Bio
Born in Darwin shortly after Cyclone Tracy destroyed most of the town, you could say Nathan Gaunt was conceived in the eye of the storm. Since picking up his first guitar at the age of 17, he has since written ten albums, played with opera singers in Italy, punk bands in New York, puppet shows in India, toured both Europe and America several times over. He has also written music for various projects such as film, t.v, and catwalk shows for New York fashion week.
Nathan has won several awards including eleven WA Music Awards for best Vocalist, Guitarist, Instrumentalist, and Blues/Roots music, and a MICA for up and coming.
His experimental album Halcyon Dazed was praised by The Sydney Morning Herald for “channeling the best of trip-hop, prog, and alt-rock,” while See Ya Later Space Cowboy saw him recording in Los Angeles with Grammy-winning collaborators Matt Hyde (No Doubt, Slayer), Herman Matthews (Tom Jones, Sheryl Crow), and Phil Parlapiano (Rod Stewart, Lucinda Williams).
Nathan has toured across Australia, the UK, and the US, and at various national and international festivals including South by Southwest in Austin Texas, California Music Festival and Blues at Bridgetown. He has shared stages with legends such as Carole King, KD Lang, Joe Satriani, Robben Ford, The Tea Party, Gomez, Shawn Colvin, Michael Franti, Icehouse, Art Garfunkel, Paul Kelly, Xavier Rudd, Jeff Lang, John Butler Trio, Tex Perkins and Tim Rogers.
An eclectic musician whose albums and live shows have garnered much critical acclaim, his music will always remain elusive to classify and will always be unique.

See Ya Later Space Cowboy
“Here he shifts gears between the locomotive blues of Galactic North, trippy pop, ambient groove (The Grassy Seas Of Ganymede, anyone?) and the sweetly stoned acoustica of Blue Skies For Miles – all without missing a beat.”(4/5 stars)
