Nathan Tubb - Who is he???

​

Who is Nathan Tubb? If you are a musician in the East Texas area of the world, than you have probably heard of him and possibly even played with him.  He’s a blues musician that is extraordinarily unique in his style of playing.  Why does he prefer a BIC lighter when he’s playing slide guitar? 

​

He scored his first guitar at the age of 13; it was a Christmas present from his mom.  Nathan has never had any formal training or lessons, which is astonishing if you have had the privilege of watching and hearing him play.  His style is different to say the least and his tone is, well…give it a listen!

​

​

Nathan plays in a band called Hubcap and The Loose Nuts as guitar and vocals.  His band mates include Larry Pierce on drums and vocals, Jerry McCoy on bass and vocals, and of course the harp player Tad Phillips.  The blues-based band was formed towards the end of 2010 and they like to mix in classic rock as well as country.  Click on the link on the menu above to find out more about Hubcap and The Loose Nuts.
