Show-stopping singer Natalie Stovall's high-energy, take-no-prisoners live performances and relentless, barnstorming global tours have earned her the attention she deserves from those who matter the most to her -- the fans.
After only a few short years in the college campus market, Natalie was named 2012 Entertainer of the Year by the voters of Campus Activities Magazine® in the Reader's Choice Awards. Blending her country/roots background with a strong rock sensibility, Stovall's fiddle-shredding shows are bred for wide audiences, and this year that mainstream popularity is paying off in a big way. In fact, it's the first time in over twenty years that a woman has been named Campus Entertainer of the Year in a category usually dominated by male artists.
“My friends and family think I am crazy to tour like I do,” says Natalie. “In April 2012, we literally played 32 dates in 30 days! But performing is what I love most. As soon as I graduated college, I put my band together and hit the road.”
Natalie has been playing professionally since she was ten, and by the time she graduated high school she had already performed everywhere from the Grand Ole Opry to the Oprah Winfrey Show. And since she put her first band together (in 2007), things have really begun to take off. “I still can’t believe it sometimes when I think of everything we’ve gotten to do these last few years,” says Natalie. “I’ve been working at this dream my whole life, and every day I get to see it coming true inch by inch, all around me.”
