Natives of Spokane, Wash., the amazing Hocking Brothers Piano Duo is loved and admired by everyone who meets them. Their profound musicality astounds listeners everywhere. One reviewer recently dubbed Nathan and Casey as “the world’s best brothers.”

Nathan Hocking, primo, is a member of the Ferris High School class of 2023. In addition to his musical interests, he has been a member of the Saxon Varsity Basketball team. He remains active in numerous community interscholastic athletics endeavors. His favorite movie is Ready Player One; his favorite food―cheese cake. Nathan began formal piano study on October 1, 2020.

Casey Hocking, secondo, was a 2020 graduate of Ferris High School, where he lettered as wide-receiver for Saxon Varsity Football. Casey is an avid reader and deep-thinker. He studied Ministerial Leadership: Worship Arts at Northwest Leadership College while serving as a keyboardist and vocalist at Life Center – Spokane. He is currently in his second year at Grand Canyon University (Phoenix, Ariz.) studying Worship Arts. He has studied vocal performance with Ann Brueggemeier Benson and Derrick Parker.

The brothers have deep roots at Central Lutheran Church. They are the sons of Lynn and Justin Hocking, who were married at Central. Additionally, they are grandsons of Helen and the late Rev. Roy Jeremiah, former pastor for the congregation. Casey was baptized at Central.

The Hocking Brothers Piano Duo made their public debut on Christmas Eve 2020 with a performance of Stille Nacht, written for them by their exclusive arranger Edward Hurd, with whom they both studied piano.
