Concert in the Park: Nate Nathan & the MacDaddy-O's
2025-07-06 18:00 | Spreckels Park, 601 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Nate Nathan has a passion for music. As an outlet for this passion, he gathered some of his musically-inclined friends, including Betsy Ganz and his guitar teacher and friend Doug Mann, and started a band. As Nate’s desire to play increased, he asked Doug to take the band to “the next level.” Doug gathered some of the most experienced and world class musicians that the Southwest has to offer, including members of the Herndon Bros Band, The Sunpunchers, Michael ‘Gonzo’ Gonzales, and many others – and the current 13 piece juggernaut of musical talent was born: Nate Nathan & The MacDaddyOs!
The group often shares their dedication and affection for the gift of music through many philanthropic performances. Join Nate and his friends for a unique musical extravaganza, as they play your classic rock favorites and some great original tunes by the band.
