Nate Sabine Steps Into Role as Chair of the Canadian Live Music Association

“Live music is not only a powerful economic driver; it is a cornerstone of Canada’s creative ecosystem and cultural identity,” the Vancouver-based music industry executive says.

The Canadian Live Music Association (CLMA) has appointed Nate Sabine as the new chair of the organization.

For over two decades, Sabine has been immersed in Vancouver’s entertainment scene — from self-producing club nights and rap concerts to managing homegrown hip-hop artists in the late 90s and early 2000s to his current role as director of business development at Blueprint, one of the west coast’s largest independent live concert and festival companies.
