Join us for the first concert in the Cobble Hill Association’s much-anticipated Summer Music in the Park series. This annual celebration brings the community together for an unforgettable evening of live music. Kicking off our first summer concert of 2024 is Nate Sabat! Please join us from 6pm to 7pm in Cobble Hill Park. Read more about Nate below.

Nate Sabat is an award-winning bassist, singer-songwriter and arranger based in Brooklyn, NY.  Nate has written and arranged music for NPR’s Radiolab, the Young People’s Chorus of New  York City and the Heifetz International Music Institute. Additionally, a number of his songs are  in rotation on Sirius XM’s Bluegrass Junction channel. He has performed on stages throughout  Europe, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the United States, at festivals and venues  including Celtic Connections, Savannah Music Festival, The Caverns and Carnegie Hall. In April  2024 Nate released Bass Fiddler, the debut full-length project under his own name, produced by  the legendary Bruce Molsky. 

With upright bass as his sole tool for accompaniment, Nate crafts wildly intricate arrangements,  each one inextricably tied to its song. His playing — while rooted in American folk music —  goes far beyond any preconceived notions of the instrument’s role within the genre. With a  relaxed, vocal sound and equal fluency with pizzicato and the bow, Nate takes full advantage of  the never-ending variety of sounds and textures the bass has to offer. GRAMMY-winning cellist  Eugene Friesen says, “Nate has so much going for him: The ability to propel any groove with  chops and subtlety, a sweet bow sound that can vocalize any melody, fiercely great intonation,  and, most importantly, a musical intelligence and intuition that operates with a constant smile.”
