"The art of blues piano is quickly dying out," wrote 'Westcoast Blues Review' magazine, "with only Nat Dove and perhaps a half dozen other players left to carry on a tradition that is generations old." Having toured extensively through Europe, Asia, and the United States, Dove was for many years Composer-in-Residence at the American Cultural Center in Paris. Living now in Bakersfield, Dove is founder and director of the Bakersfield Blues Preservation Society.
