Bio
Raised in the peaceful village of Manchester, Michigan, Natalie Mae has honed her many musical talents into a new and unique blend of folk/roots music. Her parents, music teachers and folk musicians themselves, instilled in her the passion and love for music at a young age, encouraging her to learn multiple instruments and to take the songwriting craft seriously. She started playing piano at the age of five and by high school was playing the guitar, banjo and bass. Since moving to Louisiana, where she recently received a BM in Music Industry Studies from Loyola University New Orleans, Natalie has taken her songwriting to another level, using her talents with all her instruments, including the ukulele, to express her stories of desired love, dying love, and forgotten love. Her experience from listening to and observing her parents' traditional folk band (The Raisin Pickers) can be heard in her use of traditional story lines and simple melodies. Her voice carries each melody with power and ease, while her lyrics prove to be crafted with great care. Detroit Music Hall of Fame member and prominent figure in the Midwest folk scene for over 25 years, Dick Siegel has described Natalie Mae's songwriting as "inventive, detailed, emotionally straightforward, poetic and plainspoken," and her singing as "achingly melodic and interesting... like watching a wild beautiful thing, wondering where it's going to land next." .. .. For the past year, Natalie Mae has included the forces of 4 highly acclaimed and talented gentlemen to her live shows. With Josh Wexler on keys, Patrick Fee on drums, Ted Long on bass, and Alex Bachari on lead guitar, Natalie Mae's shows now include the entertaining mix of tunes inspired by Dinah Washington, Hank Williams, Bob Wills, and Patty Griffin. Every show highlights Natalie Mae's variety of talents in songwriting as well as performing, while supported by the superb talents of her band. .. .. With the release of her debut album, "Waiting on You," Natalie Mae proves to be a rising songwriter and musician who has much more to be heard and enjoyed. .. .. Most recently, Natalie Mae has added a new genre of music to her life, by joining the popular NOLA-based indie rock band, The Blue Party, as female lead singer and fiddler/keyboardist. The Blue Party will be releasing their first full-length album this Fall and will be hitting the road on Labor Day to tour throughout the Midwest and Eastern USA.
