   About Natalie Wright

I'm a baby of the blues… I embrace my inner twang, although it is the unintentional result of growing up in the south. A Florida native, I am the product of a household that blasted a regular rotation of the family vinyls, which generally included Buddy Guy, the Vaughn Brothers, Bonnie Raitt, Albert Collins, Little Feat, and a slew of old bluegrass, country, and rock & roll on a nightly basis. My dad gave me an early dose of the blues when he took me to a Jacksonville nightclub to see Little Charlie and the Nightcats. I was 5 and the addiction could not be stopped. Blue blood's been running through my veins ever since.

With 10 years of classical piano and music theory under my belt, I found my voice through the guitar. At the age of 11, armed with my dad's hand-me-down Ovation (admittedly a very nice hand-me-down...), I taught myself the chords to my favorite songs, comparing guitar notes to those on the piano, picking and plodding until I got it just right. I have since had the pleasure of sharing the stage with many accomplished musicians in the Northeast Florida area and am honored to have had guidance and support, in the form of structured music lessons, back-porch jam sessions, and kind words of encouragement, from some truly incredible musical peers.

After writing songs and practicing scales in the solace of my bedroom for years, I eventually recorded two full-length albums (again, in my bedroom...). I have found myself engaged in a sordid love affair with my Gibson Dove and an 8-track digital recorder. Gathering inspiration from life in the south, incredible people, bad politicians, obligatory heartbreak, and hole-in-the-wall bars, my music offers the best description of who I am and what I'm about...

Cheers...

“Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where, uh, Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as, uh, anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your ass. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and, uh, Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite”

That was three minutes you’ll never get back.

“Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I have found a truth." Say not, "I have found the path of the soul." Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path." For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals”


Have a stellar weekend my friend

"When real music comes to me - the music of the speres, the music that surpasseth understanding - that has nothing to do with me, cause I'm just the channel. The only joy for me is for it to be given to me, and to transcribe it like a medium...those moments are what I live for."

Have a stellar weekend
