Nat Osborn + Mike Parker Duo (USA/POL)

New Yorkers Nat Osborn and Mike Parker have been making music together for more than fifteen years. Since meeting in a university jazz ensemble, they have worked their way from busking on the streets of Budapest to performing in renowned New York City clubs and headlining jazz festivals across Europe. While they frequently appear together as members of the jazz-, rock-, and soul-powered Nat Osborn Band, their duo performances offer an opportunity to explore a different musical direction. Parker swaps his electric bass for his instrument of choice, the double bass, while Osborn trades the keyboard for an acoustic guitar. The result is a sound firmly rooted in jazz while embracing elements of Americana, blues, and folk, bringing together the full spectrum of their musical influences.
