Natalie Prauser blends the introspection of the 60's Laurel Canyon folk scene with the attitude of 70's outlaw country. Whiskey infused lyrics combine loving, leaving, and honky-tonk debauchery. A Kansas native, Natalie began playing in bars at the tender age of fourteen, and was a recipient of an American Songwriters Award in 2015. After stepping away from live shows for a few years, she reemerged in 2021 with a redefined sound and polished craft. In June of 2022, she released a classic country duets record with Marty Bush, titled "Cabin Sessions Volume One." Natalie released her first full-length solo album, "Til the Sun Comes Up," in November of 2022. Both records were included in bandcamp's "Best of Country Music" for their respective release months.

Firmly rooted in the sounds of troubadour country of the 60's and 70's, Marty Bush crafts heart-wrenching songs of love and loss. Pairing intricate guitar work and a powerful baritone voice, his tales take listeners on a hell-bent journey to the lonesome juke joints of days gone by.

Marty Bush

Hailing from the plains of eastern Kansas, Marty Bush is a torchbearer of the American songwriting tradition.  His songs resonate with the weight of his influences such as Townes Van Zandt, Blaze Foley, and Kris Kristofferson, but he has channeled their emotional honesty and unvarnished truth-telling into something uniquely his own.  While his 2022 solo debut “The Long Way Home” established him as a devout follower of the country and western songwriting tradition, his follow-up LP “Cowboy Chords” (out OCTOBER 13th 2023) takes a bold step forward in establishing his voice as both a songwriter and performer.  Taking the reins as both producer and engineer, Bush plays every instrument on the album with the exception of pedal steel which is skillfully manned by Devon Teran (Timbers).  The result is a clear and precise vision of songs that honor the past and think to the present. 

Touring extensively, Bush played over 250 shows in 2022.  He continued that break-neck pace into 2023, writing songs from behind the wheel and testing material in dives, honky-tonks, and juke-joints all over the US, pausing in May and June to record, then hitting the road again this July, August, September and October with Natalie Prauser and November with Johnny Lawhorn of The Pentagram String Band.
