Violinist Nathaniel Markman went to an Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros concert and ended up on stage playing a solo on the hit “Home”. That would be an incredible story, but Markman’s story was just beginning. He ended up touring with the band right as it broke into the mainstream. One day he’s a camp counselor up in Yosemite, and the next day he’s playing before tens of thousands of fans at major summer festivals. This is a true story and was originally published on Faster Times as “An Improbable Tale of Fate and a Missouri Fiddler” (10/31/11).
About the author: Joseph Bien-Kahn is a freelance writer, part-time cafe worker and roving intern in the San Francisco literary world. After interning at both ZYZZYVA and 826 Valencia, he’s started freelancing, with articles published in The Rumpus, NFL Alternative, and No Tofu. He is also editor-in-chief of the literary magazine, Otherwheres.
