Nate Marshall is one part juggler, one part musician, and one part fun. Although he has a number of different shows in his repertoire, at the Strawberry Festival he\u2019ll be performing his Nate the Great juggling routine.<\/p>\n

Marshall, who grew up near Poughkeepsie, has been juggling nearly 25 years, \u201csince I was six or seven.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cMy dad taught me. He was an actor and comedian and in his standup act he did some comedy juggling at the end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marshall went to college in Binghamton and majored in music and poetry. \u201cIt was the closest thing I could get to songwriting,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cI should have majored in juggling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite his interest in juggling, it wasn\u2019t until within the past five or six years that Marshall started doing juggling shows. Before that, he supported himself with a variety of different jobs \u2013 a landscaper, a mover \u2013 but also through his self-produced music albums, guitar lessons and music performances. One summer he worked as a street performer in Venice Beach. After he and Kate did a three-month tour together, they settled in Ithaca. Now they do around 150 shows per year.<\/p>\n

Marshall explained, \u201cWe offer four different shows \u2013 my solo blues and folk, the juggling show, the kids\u2019 show, and our duo cafe show.\u201d With that sort of variety, Marshall said, \u201cWe can do bars or preschools or nursing homes or college.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the shows \u2013 like the kids\u2019 show \u2013 combine music and juggling. Marshall said, \u201cWe even do a routine where we play instruments and juggle at the same time. Kate plays cello and juggles with one hand and I juggle with both hands and play harmonica. I\u2019d like to work out more stuff like that \u2013 that\u2019s really a fun one and it\u2019s original.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI\u2019m trying to put more music into the show. I would like to have more of a variety act, a vaudeville act – part juggling, part comedy.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to his work performing, Marshall teaches juggling and guitar. He offered some wise words of advice for young would-be jugglers. First, he said, \u201cPractice makes perfect. Well, practice makes for more practice. Mostly it\u2019s about putting in the time. I used to practice thirty hours a week with juggling throughout most of my twenties.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cIt should be fun – that\u2019s the most important thing, I think.\u201d<\/p>\n

Second, he said, \u201cWhat I found for teaching in juggling workshops is to set small goals, really small reasonable goals that you can get to. Like get a hundred catches in such and such pattern with rings or balls. Set reasonable goals so that you\u2019re always pushing yourself a little further and then you\u2019re getting lots of little successes.\u201d<\/p>\n

To check out Marshall in Owego, visit the Strawberry Festival between 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. on Friday, June 19. He\u2019ll be strolling around juggling and pulling in willing audience members to be part of the show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
