Nathan Moes is the Magician. Making pop music, with a foot in the past, and an eye for the future, and a body resting in the present, usually upon a piano bench. Having released his debut EP in the Fall of 2008, Nathan has played consistently, claiming 3rd place in CITR 101.9's annual "Shindig" Battle of The Bands, and vetted as a local band to watch for by the Vancouver city beat blog beyondrobson.com.

The Gates of Love, one of the most technically proficient, perceptivelly feeling and generally agreeable bands in the greater Langley area have joined forces with The Magician, creating the live spectacle of The Magician & The Gates of Love. The Gates of Love are Conrad Dykman manning percussion, and the Brothers Koole, Andrew & Nick singing harmonies in ways that only family can, and playing trumpet and saxophone like so many others can. But maybe better.

Following their first tour to big sky Alberta, The Magician & The Gates of Love will be heading into the studio to record a few singles in preparation for a full - length LP of eternally hummable melodies.
