Natalie started her singing career at the age three, and spent her summers in the studios,
at family jam sessions and performing with her father. Her grandfather was also a musician. She spent her childhood watching
her father's band play and began sitting in onstage when she was just a little kid. Growing up in a family like the Maines
family, it's hard not to become musical. At the age of 4, she was discovered standing on a desk at the hospital where her
mother worked, giving a note-perfect rendition of 'Greased Lightnin'. In school, she would say, "Oh, I don't wanna do this
math and science. I'm gonna be a star."
And a star she wanted to be. Her start was on piano when she was 12 and
she most recently has started bass guitar. In her 25 short years, Natalie has sung on several albums by well known Texas artists
and won a vocal scholarship to Berkelee School of Music in Boston in 1994. When Martie and Emily called Natalie to ask her
to be their lead singer, Natalie said she had a volleyball game that night and the next day a big Economic test. But about
4 days later, she checked out of college and started singing. Now when she's out on the road, she is addicted to the treadmill,
to help her stay in shape.
