Details:
Natalie Flanagan grew up in the western suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts listening to the local classic rock stations. She admits a weakness for Bob Seeger, and songs that make you cry. Natalie hopes that her words and music can make people feel less lonely, more understood and provoke them to speak up. "I think I became a musician so that I could write songs, keep people company, make them feel less lonesome. That's what the songs I love do for me."

She might have a message but the song never suffers. Much like some of her influences Natalie blends the music to compliment the meaning. Natalie is a big Stones fan. She is also drawn to the bare-bones pictorial songwriters, like Lou Reed, Bob Dylan and Joan Armatrading. She pays homage with a low-fi lazy rock sound that puts her songs, and her heart, right out in the front yard. She gets up there, tells a story, and paints a picture of what she sees as the truth. The delivery is genuine, sweet and just a little melancholy.

Flanagan's low-pitched speak-singing style has drawn comparisons to Bob Dylan and Lou Reed and her music is firmly rooted in the intelligent, bluesy folk of that era, coupled with David Minehan's production, her music on "Let" and Sexy Singers" is intimate and really comes alive.
It's spare but ample, and Flanagan sounds like she's in the room with you... or rather, like you're in the room with her, breathing cigarette smoke and the smell of old beer, but without the shitty sound system.
