Alto saxophonist Nate Spratford leads his band Ordinary People, which takes inspiration from the idea that, no matter our differences, we are all human beings and face the same struggles and challenges, and this idea is expressed in their music. Spratford relocated to Nashville from the Chicago area to study with Jeff Coffin at Vanderbilt, and quickly made waves in the community as a great young improviser. His band features David Williford on tenor sax, Daniel Kuk on piano, Ian Nussdorfer on bass, and Christian Kyle Burgs on drums.
