Natalie Evans

Fusing a virtuosic talent on guitar, harp and piano with a distinctive playing style and finely tuned songwriting sensibilities, Kent-born Londoner Natalie Evans’ music glows with a rare self-contained grace, as she wraps her minimalist and deceptively simple lyrical lines in winning hooks and harmonies.

Her debut album ‘Better At Night’ saw her intricate compositions and characterful vocals reaching more ears than ever before on its 2018 release through Small Pond recordings. While winning new fans, her new material has also been met with excitement by existing followers of her work, which includes her debut EP “Houses”, guest vocals on Delta Sleep’s “Camp Adventure” and her split release with US star Yvette Young.

Natalie Evans has inspired comparisons with folk sensation and fellow harpist Joanna Newsom, while she is also influenced as a songwriter by artists such as Owen, Julien Baker, Peter Broderick and Taken By Trees. Although she’d had no classical training, a fascination with classical music inspired Evans to learn piano and harp in recent years, her talent and studious approach leading her to achieve an exceptionally high standard. These instruments add to her mastery of the guitar, which began as a teen hobby and became something of an obsession when she discovered the finger-picking style that she has gone on to make her mainstay.
