Natalie Price:

Intoxicatingly authentic and wholly original – you’ll never forget the first time you stepped into Natalie Price’s world.

Described by Trey Gutierrez (Texas Music Magazine) as “one of  Austin's most dynamic new singer-songwriters,” this artist’s ethereal,  one-of-a-kind sound refuses to fall neatly into one category. Just as  comfortable dabbling in Americana or folk as she is indie-pop, Natalie  Price’s music is perhaps best encapsulated by its deep-seated humanity.  ``Each of her songs takes you on this journey,” says No​ë​lle Hampton,  Price’s backup vocalist and singer/guitarist for Austin rock outfit, The  Belle Sounds, “they capture not one emotion, but many -- [reflecting]  what the listener needs to feel.”
