<br><br>
I hope you are well and taking in all that December has to offer. In case you're still on the hunt for some last minute gift shopping, I suggest you do a YouTube search for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gpYlff6NqY" target="_blank">“Perfect Polly”</a>. You’re welcome.
<br><br>
What I’m really here to share with you, though, is <a href="https://vimeo.com/54735697" target="_blank">this video</a> that my friends over at Cardboard Films shot during my recent show in Nashville, TN at The Basement!

<br><br>
The night was a blast, and these guys did an amazing job capturing it.
<br><br>
This song will be on my upcoming album that I will be finishing up before the New Year.  We will see where it goes once it’s done, but hopefully it will be out for everyone to hear very soon.
<br><br>
Oh, and in case you missed it, I did some live sessions for OurVinyl which premiered last week. You can check out all three videos <a href="http://ourvinyl.com/natalie-prass/" target="_blank">here</a>. Here's one of them:

<br><br>
Anyway, thank you for all of the love and support! Much love to all of you and Happy Holidays!

<p>I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful fall season that is upon us.</p>
<p><em>&ldquo;Autumn, the year&rsquo;s last, loveliest smile.&rdquo;<br />-William Cullen Bryant.</em></p>
<p>I&rsquo;m excited to share with you a few things that have been going on recently...</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://rcrdlbl.com/2012/10/25/premiere_natalie_prass_among_savages_when_i_am_alone" target="_blank">Rcrdlbl.com</a> was so kind to release a song that I wrote and recorded a year ago with one of my most favorite artists, Peter Barbee aka Among Savages! You can find that <a href="http://rcrdlbl.com/2012/10/25/premiere_natalie_prass_among_savages_when_i_am_alone" target="_blank">here</a>.</strong></p>
<p>The song is called, &ldquo;When I Am Alone&rdquo; and is ultimately about my invisible friend that I had as a kid, Clarence, who I thought I saw again as an adult. So it&rsquo;s a good Halloween themed song I guess? Totally not intentional, but it works. Anyway, I really love this song and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. AJ Gibboney, one of Nashville&rsquo;s finest videographers, created the artwork for the single out of some film footage he shot of us last year!</p>
<p>A little history on my collaboration with Among Savages:</p>
<p>Neither Peter nor I had done much co-writing before, but we thought it would be fun to see what happens. We ended up writing and demoing 11 songs in less than 2 weeks. I can&rsquo;t begin to express how happy I am to finally start putting these songs out there for you to hear. Peter is beyond talented and I am lucky to have gotten to work with him.</p>
<p>Please check out Peter&rsquo;s solo project, Among Savages, <a href="http://amongsavages.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

<p>Yay Daytrotter! I had a great time recording this session, and am excited to share. Click <a href="http://www.daytrotter.com/#!/concert/natalie-prass/20056011-37383235" target="_blank">here</a> to listen / download!</p>
<p>"The stories that Prass is drawn to are those that are gravelly and  poisoned. They are those with scabs, those that have gone belly-up or  are looking peaked. They are hurting some, but they carry a sense of  being somewhat aged, not all that fresh any longer. They might not be  hurting as much any more. The people could be rebounding a little from  the initial slashing. She sings, "I think of what I live without," and  you get the feeling that knowing what all those things are might be  comforting. It could bring on the hurt, but more likely, it's knowing  all of this that makes them feel stronger. It's like knowing how to live  and to survive on little money that gives a person the steeled outlook  of never having to worry again about money. These are the stories that  might make you never worry about love again. These whispery takes on the  snags that people find themselves in are exquisite examples of rainy  beauty. They make you believe that everything is as it is for a reason.  Prass sings, "There's nothing to say, when there's nothing to say." It's  that simple. It's what we're all left with, when things simmer."</p>

Thanks to everyone who sat under umbrellas to watch us play and bought wet and soggy merch.

<p>After these shows, I'll be playing a couple of dates backing up the amazing <a href="http://bennyyurco.com/" target="_blank">Benny Yurco</a>, and then I'm heading into the studioooooo. Been writing a bunch and can't wait to get these tunes out into the world, which will hopefully be sometime in the next couple of months.</p>
<p>In September, I'll be up in VT to play the Grand Point North Afterparty at <a href="http://www.liveatnectars.com/proddir/prod/67/4826" target="_blank">Nectars</a>, and then I'll probably get back to recording. BUT, I do have a show booked in Nashville for December 1st at <a href="http://www.thebasementnashville.com/" target="_blank">The Basement</a>! I know. That seems so far away. But mark your calendars, it'll be here before you know it, and I'm gonna make it a special night.</p>
