Natalie Evans is a London-based acoustic and folk musician whose songs combine finger-picked guitar with harp and piano. Her writing is described through minimalist, closely worked lyrics, along with hooks and harmonies, and her style is linked to folk, folk rock and alternative folk.

Musical background

Evans begins on guitar as a teenager, developing a strong interest in finger-picking, which becomes a central part of her music. She later adds piano and harp, learning both without classical training after becoming drawn to classical music. Her playing across these three instruments gives her work a self-contained, acoustic sound.

Releases and collaborations

She first gains attention through self-released material, including the Houses EP. She also appears on Delta Sleep’s Camp Adventure, and that track gains more than 1.5 million streams on Spotify. Evans works with TTNG side project The Otter Years and with Apidae, and she releases a split single with US artist Yvette Young, which connects with a joint tour of California.

Live work and associations

Evans performs extensively in the UK and appears alongside acts including Laucan, Tall Ships and Delta Sleep. She is also compared to Joanna Newsom, another harp-playing folk artist, while her songwriting influences include Jeffrey Lewis, Warpaint, Björk, Sufjan Stevens, TTNG, Owen, Peter Broderick and St. Vincent.

Style and reception

Her music is noted for a pastoral folk feel, with confident melodic vocals and a restrained acoustic approach. Early live reviews present her as an artist associated with delicate songs and a distinct voice, and her performances draw a strong response from audiences.
