The Nathaniel Johnstone Band hails from Seattle, WA, lead by multi-instrumentalist Nathaniel Johnstone (violin, viola, banjo, mandolin, and guitar). Their vibrant sound crosses boundaries and borders, resulting in a blend of European, Middle Eastern, and South American music with Jazz, Rock, Surf, Folk, Gothic, and Steampunk influences.

Surrounding himself with an ever-changing roster of like-minded souls, Nathaniel creates music for his many friends in the dancing world. Every song in his repertoire was inspired by and created with a particular dancer/troupe in mind.

He has been joined on stage and in the studio by a talented array of musicians, including: Jean-Paul Mayden, Mel, Jes Brown, Libby Bulloff, Paul Mercer, Davis Petterson, Julia Cooke, Erik Brown, Tom Coyne, and Erica Unwoman Mulkey. The ensemble varies from show to show depending on the scope and location of the event, but always promises a dynamic experience.

He has also collaborated with a number of other ensembles: The Ghosts Project, Jill Tracys Malcontent Orchestra, Ego Likeness, Jody Ellen, Android Lust, The Last Dance, The Hellblinki Sextet, Abney Park, and others.
