STARSTRUCK! – Acting with Nate Ruess the Grammy Winning Singer/Songwriter By Joseph Wise I’ll admit it, a few weeks ago I didn’t even know who Nate Ruess was.  I’m old school, an old timer, from the 70’s, I listen to KJazz, the classics, Nat and Natalie, Tony Bennett, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme and Luther Vandross. Those are the names that I grew up with.  I know there are a boatload of singers out there in the music world that are successful, but I come to find that Nate Ruess is one of the most successful singer/songwriters in the biz, and is receiving the Hal David Starlight Award at The Songwriters Hall Of Fame this summer. I watch the Grammy’s, I guess I just missed the 2013 Best New Artist Category.  I do know Esperanza Spalding won Best New Artist in 2011 and I saw her flambouyant performance at Walt Disney Concert Hall on April 26, 2015, two days after filming a scene with Nate Ruess inside his Hollywood Hills Mansion.
