Natalie Zoe

Saturday 4:30-5:15
Capital Metro American Original Stage

An Austin musical icon, Natalie Zoe has covered many musical genres....from acoustic singer songwriter, to electric-guitar slinging rocker, to jazz singer, to singing with "The Gospel According To Austin".

She's had several styles—blues, funk—and she's even had a turn at country (singing background vocals with David Allen Coe and The Lost Gonzo Band). She's been flavored and colored by all this great music....and evolved a unique and sparkling distillation of it that she's now performing and recording.

" Natalie Zoe's Seven Chords and The Truth places the veteran Austin singer-songwriter where she belongs - at the forefront of her estimable genre. Her easy, alluring vocals on "Nocturnal Reverie" and the bittersweet sentiment of "Winter" are testament to the maturation of her craft over three decades, much as her tenure singing with Malford Milligan imbues a soulful Seventies edge to "Do Me Like That," "Judge & Jury," and "Every Teardrop".

"... The Austin singer's new album, shaded by such top local session players as David Grissom, Nick Connally, Papa Mali, and Sniz the drummer, tells the story of a woman who's 'played every bar from D.C. to Santa Fe' before realizing what really matters is songcraft and feeling at home in the studio. Those who know Zoe from her bluesy collaborations with Malford Milligan or acoustic guitar sets at dives around town might be surprised how full this record sounds."

"... Seven Chords contained some well-written, world-wizened songs -- the opening 'Tell Your Story Well' being the real standout -- created by a woman who sounds likes she's speaking from experience."
