Nathan Cavaleri

At the age of 10 Nathan was asked to go to America to perform for the Guitar Player 25th Anniversary along side performers such as John Lee Hooker, Ry Cooder, Jeff Baxter the Alman Bros, Steve Morse to name a few. Nathan received the only standing ovation for the evening and this set the pattern for his subsequent trips to America.

He was then invited to appear on such shows across America as CNN, Conan O’Brien, Entertainment Tonight, Arsenial Hall Show, HBO, E, and Good Morning America.

At the age of 10 Nathan was signed to a world wide Recording Deal with MJJ Records & Sony. Later that year he released his second album titled “Nathan”.

Three of the tracks off this album have appeared in movies.

In July 95 Nathan flew to Zurich to perform at a 3day festival called “Out in the Green”

This was to be his largest audience yet, a crowd of 60,000. Nathan appeared on the billing with such greats as Bo Diddley, Rod Stewart, Chuck Berry, REM, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, Sheryl Crow and Elton John.

September that year, B.B. King asked Nathan to accompany him on tour across America to crowds numbering 10’s of thousands, in all the best venues e.g., The Greek Theatre in L.A. The Shoreline, in San Francisco, and The Paramount, in New York.

In December 1995 Nathan had the privilege to be asked by his friend B.B.King to Perform for the then President of the United States Bill Clinton his wife Hillary, and B.B.

Nathan shared the stage with Etta James, Bonnie Rait, Steve Cropper, Dr John, and Joe Lewis Walker.

October 2000 brought an incredible opportunity to be a large part of the opening of the Paralympic Games in Sydney playing to a live audience of 110,000 people, and an estimated satellite cross to 23 countries around the world. Nathan began producing local bands and co-writing around the world until he teamed up with Col Hatchman (former Screaming Jets drummer) to form pimp-rock band Dirty Skanks. Intentionally injecting only one independent album into the rebellious teenage market, Dirty Skanks toured nationally every school, schoolies and greasy pub that would have them until Col Hatchman made “The Guiness Book of Records” for being the loudest drummer in the world for Jeans for Genes day.

While still producing bands, Nathan is working on their next project which merges his credible blues roots with the worldly variety of styles absorbed over the years. Nathan has performed with a list of who’s who. From Jimmy Barnes & Diesel in Australia, to Bonny Rait, Albert Collins, Michael Jackson, Booker T, , Greg Alman, Aaron Neville, Etta James Dr John, Robin Ford, Joe Lewis Walker and the legendary B.B.
