ABOUT
"If you get the chance, check this guy out live - so many instruments for one guy to play! And rumour has it that he never goes anywhere without some kind of instrument on him... "
- Sarah Howells, Roots 'n' All, Triple J
​
​
“Kaye’s much more than your contemporary one man band, he's a spellbinding singing, hilarious storytelling, adroit lapsteel slide guitar playing, funky Didge blowing, body-popping human beatbox freak with wit & spirit.. He's like John Butler on pills, Michael Franti on ‘shrooms & Umbilical Brothers on fire”
- Cathy Gavronich, Rip-In Magazine

An influential part of the Australian roots music scene & renowned as the world’s first didgeridoo-beatboxer, Nathan Kaye, is a globe-trotting one-man-band who thumps out songs on slide guitar, slide-didge & electronic foot-drums.
It's like he's chewed on blues, munched on funk, grabbed a handful of rock, sniffed up world roots, inhaled psytrance, tinkered with your grandad's old drum kit & then exhaled his own genre.
It's music that marries the earthy drive of John Butler, Xavier Rudd and Ben Harper with the uplifting atmosphere of Michael Franti.
You may have seen him on the 44 date sold out national tour with multi-platinum selling Pete Murray, or supporting ARIA winning Birds of Tokyo, or supporting Grammy-winners Wolfmother and Jason Mraz.
As well as music, Kaye performed a leading acting role in the best film award-winning Australian feature film, One Less God, an intense hostage terrorist drama based on one of the longest terrorist sieges in history which was released in cinemas 2018.
