Nathan Herrera (b. 1976) has been playing guitar since the age of 15. Mr. Herrera’s mother and father, his first teachers, introduced him to flamenco and Spanish guitar through the recordings of the great guitar maestros. Mr. Herrera went on to receive a bachelor’s degree in guitar performance with a concentration in composition from Florida Southern College under the direction of Dr. Mark Switzer. He has pursued his passion through master classes with Pepe Romero, LA Guitar Quartet, Adam Del Monte, and Oscar Guzman. Mr. Herrera has also studied flamenco guitar and percussion in Seville, Spain with the accomplished guitarist Juan Nunez. He has also studied locally with guitarist Jose Maria Moreno, in Miami with Paco Fonta, and recently with maestro Juan Diego.
In 2005, Nathan released his debut CD, “Alegria”. In addition to enjoying success in performing solo and with various dance companies such as Oasis Flamenco, Flamencos Unidos, and the Florida Dance Theatre, Mr. Herrera created the show American Gypsies with dancer Sandra Serrano which toured central Florida in 2006. Nathan has also made appearances on local and international television programs, commercials, newspapers and magazines.

Yeah, I started interning for the studio in September and then I started working for the owner's record label in December. The winter is rough, but I survived this one! How is Florida? Play any cool gigs lately?
A talented artist like you deserves to have a good guitar like we build. Do you know about our concert models like Luthier Rio and Luthier India? We also have the Luthier Flamenca! If you played an Alhambra Guitar and want to send a comment, we will put it on the blog with a link to your website. Take Care, Phil
