Nate Wuethrich Trio

About

Nate is a multi faceted Seattle based musician who specializes in Drum Set performance. He has been playing the drums since the age of 5, and recently completed a degree in music from the University of Oregon School of Music and Dance. Nate is a composer, educator, and a band leader at the forefront. While he is constantly working on finding his sound, he is highly influenced by straight ahead jazz (particularly post bop), and also takes influence from Hiphop/R&B, Funk, and Neo Soul. As a teenager he was heavily involved in the local Seattle Hip-hop scene; participating in local organizations/programs such as The Residency, and MoPop’s SoundOff. He still has ties and connections to the local scene and continues to produce music for local artists. During the Covid-19 pandemic he had the opportunity to work as a recording engineer at the late Fib Studios in Seattle before attending the University of Oregon. Nate was exposed to Jazz music from a very young age, and later fell back in love with the music in High School/College. He feels a deep connection to the music and wishes to express that in his playing.
