Hold On 03:06
It all happened a long time ago In the summer of 1984 The air was thick, the pavement hot That's where this story go its start Hold on to these days Hold on make them stay We took a walk down Polk avenue We were looking for something to do We stopped at the pond and danced till dawn Those days of youth are nearly gone Hold on to these days Hold on make them stay Now the water has turned to ice You stand before me, it feels so nice Your eyes speak without the words Of poems and passions I'd never heard Hold on to these days Hold on make them stay

I was only twenty-five Barely knew what it took to survive Then you came along and I came alive With your curly black hair And the most intense stare You were born so aware I held you in my arms that first night Careful not to squeeze too tight I sang to you a lullaby Now I know what it means to fly Up to the sky Over the moon I'll be back soon You said you heard bells in your heart Tell me how did you get so smart? Do you have an old soul? I'm beginning to think so I watched you as you took your first breath I let go as you took your first steps I was amazed when you could write your name Now my life won't ever be the same Not since you came Came to play I hope that you'll stay Don't grow up too fast And I hope you've got luck that lasts Love your life and have a blast

Her Life 04:48
I knew a girl, it might even be me Makin' her way to her destiny Along the road her mom got in the way Really from the start some would say There she goes moving through her years Swallowed up by a million tears Holdin' on to her boyfriend's sleeve Cant' she see that she must leave? Cause one was drunk, never saw the day The other ones have all since moved away Here she comes all grown up Riding in on her good luck She paid so dearly for She really ought to have asked for more Still she's come to see what's behind that door for her I am that girl, do you recognize me? I've made it here for all to see The ride was tough and I've nearly enough I want rest now, is that asking too much? I was holdin' on to a distance dream Before my eyes can you see what I mean? 'Cause I was too young to do it all alone Yeah, I made it but I'm so cold Inside... tonight

about

With a background as a classical violinist and a jazz singer, and an obsession for crafting "non-pop" pop songs, Natasha creates a body of music that is both lyrical and evocative. Her songs combine strong melodies with introspective lyrics and are driven by a definite, compelling rhythm.

Hers is a style that blends pop, jazz, folk, and country into a genre all its own-one she refers to as pop fusion. Listen to her songs and you will hear a story that is almost always both heartwarming and heart wrenching, soulful, provocative, clever, and sensuous. You immediately detect in the richness of her language the passage of time and her sense of life's underlying ironies. At times you are reminded of the influences of Shawn Colvin, Sting, and Rickie Lee Jones. 



Natasha has appeared all over the San Francisco Bay Area-in clubs and highly-sought-after venues. She has performed at private events honoring public elected officials and artists of national acclaim and has worked with esteemed musicians of many disciplines. She received a prestigious invitation to sing at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C in 2001. 



Her band is made up of Bay Area first-rate musicians; Jon Evans on bass (Tori Amos), Michael Bluestein on piano and organ (Jaqui Naylor, Shelby Lynn), Geoff Pearlman on guitar (Shelby Lynn), Dan Foltz on drums (Linda Perry), Matt Brubeck on cello (Sheryl Crow). Natasha's debut CD "Her Life" will be released on March 2, 2002 on Poignant Records. 



Natasha writes all of her material, plays the acoustic guitar, violin, piano and sings. On occasion, members of her string ensemble, The Sapphire String Quartet, as well as guest musicians from her jazz ensemble join her in the studio and on stage. 



Natasha heads a music production company, Entire Productions, which currently presents two concert series. Women to Watch features the best women-fronted bands and female solo acoustic acts in the United States, and First Saturdays In Alameda showcases artists from all over the world in a program of monthly acoustic concerts in Alameda, California. The concerts have been standing room only and a portion of the proceeds from these concerts are donated to support music in public schools.
