Nate Najar - American guitarist, music producer, and composer - playing classical guitar within the jazz tradition


Accessible Excellence in
Musical Entertainment!

Nate Najar is a versatile and accomplished American guitarist, known for his fingerstyle technique and deep musicality. Najar has collaborated with an impressive array of renowned musicians, including Daniela Soledade, Ken Peplowski, John Lamb, Bucky Pizzarelli, Eric Darius, Chuck Redd, Buster Cooper, Cindy Bradley, Jessy J, Judy Carmichael, and Jonathan Fritzén. His work reflects a deep respect for the tradition of jazz while showcasing his unique voice within the genre.

Influenced by the legendary Charlie Byrd, Najar has adopted the classical fingerstyle technique that Byrd pioneered, blending elements of bossa nova and Brazilian jazz into his repertoire. He plays a 1974 Ramírez 1A classical guitar, which once belonged to Byrd (the same type guitar Andres Segovia used), lending authenticity to his performances and a connection to the rich heritage of jazz guitar.

Najar has graced stages at numerous local and international festivals and concerts, sharing his music with audiences worldwide. His talents have extended beyond live performance; he has appeared on television and composed music for films, further showcasing his range as an artist.

As a producer and composer, Najar has worked extensively both in the U.S. and internationally, recording at prestigious venues and studios such as Nola Studios in New York City. One notable project was his work with vocalist Lisa Casalino, for whom he produced and recorded an album.

Najar continues to push musical boundaries while honoring the traditions of jazz, bringing a fresh yet timeless sound to every performance and recording.
