New York City singer/songwriter Natalie Mishell is working on her first full-length record and living the dream she launched 3 years ago when she left LA disenchanted with just a guitar, soaring vocals and something to say. The Mexican/American born native quickly made musical friends in NY, recording and releasing her solo debut EP, NATALIE MISHELL;In My Shoes, in 2010 with renowned singer/songwriter/producer Rich Pagano. Natalie celebrated the release with a successful major-city east coast solo tour, some Triple A radio play, great reviews and increasingly high-profile NYC appearances like her performance at the 31st Annual John Lennon Tribute. In concert, Natalie tears at heart strings with songs that matter and a welcoming offer of shelter from the storm. Addressing the audience with a smile, her warmth and joy are contagious and her shared pain and sorrows heartfelt. Whether playing solo or with a world-class backing band that boasts Neil Cavanagh on lead guitar/backing vocals, Billy Grant on keys,Tony Oppenheimer on Bass and Neil Nunziato on drums, the easy charm of Natalie Mishell's vocal melodies make for an instant audience connection and good vibes all around. Born and raised in sunny southern California, Natalie Mishell grew up singing in a warm home filled with the groovy sounds of the late 60’s and early 70’, from Dylan and Joplin to the British Invasion and back. By 19 she had taught herself guitar and begun writing songs that drew on her personal experiences and the inspiration of her folk-pop roots. Today Natalie Mishell is living in the moment, feeding off the energy she feels around her and writing her songs as she lives them. Read more on Last.fm.
