Every week I’m interviewing fascinating people in our community, nation and around the world!

The idea came from a Facebook commenter who saw a video of me and my family floating down the river in Island Park. The person said I should turn the tables and interview my dad (Nate Eaton) – so I did and the rest is history!

Today I’m chatting with one of the most incredible pianists you’ll ever hear. Stephen Nelson is an award-winning composer, producer and songwriter who works with GENTRI and Mat & Savanna Shaw. He has also produced for Lexi Walker, David Archuleta, Madilyn Paige, The Gardiner Sisters and others.

Stephen’s music can be heard on radio, television, Emmy-winning films and Billboard Chart-topping albums. He has written and produced for major corporations, charity organizations, Disney and Sony Masterworks. In 2017, Stephen arranged the song for the Vice-President’s first dance at the Presidential Inaugural Ball. He has also toured across the United States with symphonies performing his original compositions.

Stephen is not on social media, but you can catch his piano playing with GENTRI here and Mat & Savanna here.
