Natalie Forteza live @ParkTheaterHudson

Grammy-winner Michael League of Snarky Puppy, who produced her debut EP 01, said: "My favorite musicians are those who have their own sound—the ones you recognize the instant you hear them. This is how I felt when I first heard Natalie. She creates a vibe from the first note, and holds you until the last one…”  She has been praised by Chronogram Magazine as, “a commanding vocalist and songwriter of considerable impact…obvious touchstones are Sade and Norah Jones but hear glimpses of Stevie Wonder, Astrud Gilberto and Anita Baker as well.”  Natalie's unique, recognizable voice summons emotion through layers of Alt-Soul, Indie, Pop, and World Music. Highlights of her debut thus far include opening for acts as Allen Stone, Mutlu, Charlie Hunter and touring as a guest vocalist of The Latin Dead.
