Nat McIntosh (Tuba)

Nat hails from Longmont, Colorado. He studied music performance at the University of Wisconsin- Madison, with tubist and composer John Stevens. During this time, he and three fellow students formed the Sotto Voce Quartet, a nationally acclaimed tuba and euphonium ensemble.

Until 2004, Nat was the leader, musical director, and sousaphonist with the YoungBlood Brass Band, an eight-piece brass and drum ensemble in the tradition of the New-Orleans-style brass band. 

Throughout his nine years as leader of the group, Nat garnered critical and public acclaim for his many compositions, blending intense brass music with hip-hop, afro-cuban, brazilian, and jazz-funk styles.  He was also recently featured on National Public Radio, All Things Considered, where he performed one of his solo sousaphone features entitled "The Warrior Comes Out to Play".

Nat currently resides in Los Angeles, where he and his brother, trombonist Ben McIntosh, run McIntosh Musical Services, a music transcription, arranging, and copying business.  He also performs as a freelance multi-instrumentalist, playing gigs ranging from classical tuba to salsa trombone to Balkan sousaphone.

Nat serves on the faculty of the Academy of Creative Education, a Los Angeles based summer school for gifted junior high and high school aged musicians.
