Nat Towles (1905–1963) was a jazz musician and bandleader from New Orleans. His band, first called Nat Towles’ Creole Harmony Kings, was a renowned territory band in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. They would later have residences in Omaha and Chicago and tour New York City. Offered here is a poster for the Nat Towles Orchestra at the Trianon Ballroom in Croweburg, Kansas, likely from the 1930s given the location and band name. Croweburg was a coal mining town—and a sundown town until 1912.[1]
