In Conversation with Nate Smith

Drummer Nate Smith is a delightful dude. He’s got a holistic sense of the kit, a deep knowledge of groove from a fascinating perspective, and he plays well with others, especially based on his beloved Kinfolk albums. Last summer, Alex Newman talked with the drummer while he was in Portland with Kiefer and CARRTOONS about his career, his fellow musical companions, and the importance of connection, just in time for his new album, Live-Action.
