Real Talk with Jack Tracy
Guitarist and Singer, Nate LaPointe
Joining me on the program today is Nate LaPointe, the tremendously talented, lead singer and lead guitarist of Cubensis, the popular Grateful Dead tribute band, or as Nate insists, Grateful Dead experience because there is no mimicking here. These guys are the real deal. Now, that band includes, Craig Marshall, guitar, Brad Rhodes and Ed Fletcher on drums, Larry Ryan bass, and Tom Ryan on keys.
Nate grew up learning backstage from some of the best musicians can play about any style of music – and his degree in Jazz guitar lead him to music popularity in rock, pop, blues bluegrass and soul and country.
He worked with soul legend Bobby Womack for 10 years, and with BB King and also Vince Welnick keyboardist for the Dead.
As we record, Nate is in the South Bay to record some music to celebrate the August 1st birthday of the legendary Jerry Garcia.
He also has a Friday night live show that streams on Facebook. Check him on Facebook/ Nate Lapointe.
