Artist History "Blind Man's Sight," a collection of 10 acoustically-driven tunes that eschew traditional arrangements in favor of a stripped-down acoustic accompaniment, came to fruition in late 2001 and early 2002, the result of years of training in the praise and worship arenas. Without prosletyizing, the 10 songs featured on Blind Man's Sight are a result of Nathan's observations. Lyrics are empathetic, emphasizing understanding and compassion. The songs feature Vuyani Sifiniza, South African rhythm man, on djembe, and the Malaysian-born David Khoo with the tapestry of swirls on harmonica. Over the past six months Nathan has found himself playing for audiences in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. With percussionist Sifiniza as frequent collaborator, the two have forged a unique rhythmic sound that brings an audience to attention. Words used to describe Nathan's performance style include "passionate," "compelling," "sincere," "honest," and "genuine."
