When Tate makes music, it is clear he is an old soul. His soulful voice, infused with a hint of Southern drawl, accompanied by intricate guitar picking beyond his years, puts a unique spin on some old standards, current favorites, and some originals too. Raised on a farm at Smith Mountain Lake, VA, he brings a unique perspective to a show that weaves in and out of genres like bluegrass, folk, blues, country, rock, r&b, a little pop, and even some rap.
