The Third Arrangement Bio

Bio

Keyboardist and songwriter Nathan MacAdams was seeking a group of his own, where he could write and perform upon influences of soul, rhythm bands, jazz rock, and harmonic complexity. While meeting New Jersey guitarist Frank Morley in 2016, MacAdams was quick to work and rehearse already written material, and as a result formed The Third Arrangement. About a year later, the ensemble expanded and started performing throughout greater Philadelphia. In a blend of rock, funk, and jazz, the band produces sounds that range from warm and open to driving, Purdie-Porcaro shuffles, all of which can be heard on their debut EP Scarecrows (2019). In 2021, The Third Arrangement brought out two singles, “Rosie” and “The Look”. They are currently in the studio exploring, recording, and expanding their work.
