Healing. Helping. A haunting hell of a good time. Part sage, part sprite, singer/songwriter Natalie Huggins is known for sensual, nostalgic compositions that somehow make the listener feel as though their feet are grounded in the loveliest, woodsiest soil while their head is taking flight and soaring somewhere else altogether.
The power of Natalie’s songs lies in their open-endedness--in their ability to connect the listener to the parts of themselves they can’t yet see and reveal a truer version of themselves. As a child, Natalie was gripped by the process of songwriting and by her ability to connect with listeners, offering them an escape, a companion, a dream. Composing, singing, and playing guitar and piano since childhood, Natalie’s work is heavily informed by Fleetwood Mac, Pat Benetar, No Doubt, Smashing Pumpkins, Bjork, Tori Amos, and PJ Harvey. A St. Louis native, she has performed and recorded with numerous artists and projects in the area including Summer Magic, Joan of Dark, The Bureau, Rats and People Motion Picture Orchestra, Wax Wine, and more.
Her first full-length album, “Split Oceans” was released in January 2020 and in 2023 Natalie marked a new era with the Rock Opera Riverside. Part 1, Resilience, was released Jun 23, 2023 on digital streaming services. Both recordings are collaborative efforts between Huggins and producer Kevin Bachmann.
A representation of Natalie herself, her work is powerful, nostalgic, sparkly, and sensual. Her songs teem with relatable themes including the cycles of relationships, grief and loss, isolation in the modern world, and love and forgiveness.
Writing and performing music brings Natalie’s personality and thoughts to life at their clearest, most elemental form. In performing, her diverse purposes all come together, bringing Natalie to the truest version of herself. She hopes the same is true for her audience--that in listening, they can discover the nostalgia, joy, wonder, and clarity they’re looking for.
In addition to performing her original songs, Natalie has over 4 hours of material by artists like Ariana Grande, Amy Whitehouse, Lana Del Ray, Fiona Apple, Kate Bush, Adele, Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Sia, and more! Fill out the contact information below for more information.
