Nate Najar

Charlie Byrd was a very influential person in the early musical careers of many noted jazz musicians.  Not only was Charlie Byrd Chuck Redd’s mentor and collaborator, his style of guitar playing heavily influenced Nate Najar.  Nate often performs on Charlie’s classical Ramirez guitar, bringing to life the Bossa Nova.

Nate Najar is an American guitarist, composer, and producer.  He has created an eclectic repertoire of pop, jazz, and classical songs unlike that of other jazz musicians.  Becky Byrd, wife of the late Charlie Byrd, shares

“There is no doubt that there is a piece of Charlie’s soul in Nate’s mind, heart and fingers.  Get ready, world, here comes Nate Najar!

Please join us for an evening of inspiring music.  The Church of the Holy Trinity is located at 502 S. Morris Street in Oxford MD.  For more information please contact church office, 410-226-5134.
