Singer-Songwriter, performer and musician. I perform for all venues and events playing original songs and covers in a variety of genres. I have been performing since 2007. I provide a high quality sound system, am fully insured for events, and have a master list of covers for you to select for your event. I perform at wineries, breweries, concert halls, parties, corporate events, and weddings. I can customize my performance to your needs.
Not happy. Given very little notice regarding canceling event, said she was delayed in Ireland. She offered to find another Musician to replace her however we did not feel Comfortable or trusting, nor were we looking for a jazz musician for our event.
Response from Natalie Haskins:
Chandra,
My apologies sincerely on having to cancel the week of the show. As mentioned directly to you, this is highly unusual for me, in fact, I can count on one hand how many shows I have had to cancel in my nearly twenty years gigging. My commitment to my venues and clients is something I take very seriously, and I am sorry you felt it necessary to give me a one star review, as I've had nothing but great word of mouth in my community where I gig on a regular basis. I reached out to you and offered multiple replacement acts in lieu of myself, covering a wide array of genres, none of which you were willing to accept despite my many attempts to provide some very talented acts for your event. I also gave you a full refund as well. It seemed like there was no pleasing you at that point. I am sorry you felt the need to also come on here and leave such a poor review as I genuinely tried to make it right by you, and you simply did not want to work with me on that. We are all human, and things come up from time to time. I handled it the best I could, and as I mentioned many times to you, I am truly sorry to have canceled your event.
Price Range: $250-$1000
Gig Length: 60 - 240 minutes

I provide a custom experience for your guests and clients. I deal directly with my clients. I am a one woman show. I arrive early, set up sound, coordinate with venues, run audio, provide contracts, promotional materials, and am fully insured. I have been providing music for a wide array of events and venues for nearly two decades. I can be quiet background music for love key events, or play a more visible set, and I've performed at many large stages and festivals as well.
My music is soothing, relaxing and subtle. As a working songwriter, I perform my own material, but also provide an expensive list of covers with a wide array of genres for clients with more specific requests. I can also learn songs for events as well (for an additional charge).
My role is to entertain, and provide your event with ambiance. I take minimal short breaks, and am professional with attention to detail, even down to wardrobe. I have lots of experience, and provide a tasteful sound to any event large or small.

Natalie has shared the stage, opening shows for Robert Earl Keen, Hayes Carl, Reckless Kelly, Alejandro Escovedo, Cody Johnson, Shooter Jennings and so many more.
She has worked primarily as a solo act, and has also sung backup on recording projects such as Moonshiner Collective, Joe Koenig & The Homewreckers, and The Bob Lawrence Band. In 2021 Natalie also helped create “The Feminine Collective,” a female networking and support group for Central Coast working female musicians. She also helped start the music program at the SLO County Airport alongside the Airport Director Kevin Bumen. She has been the first and only in-house musician at the SLO Airport since 2019, performing for thousands of passengers traveling out of the Airport.
In 2020 she released her self-produced debut Americana album “Puhidua,” which means Wildflower in the Paiute Language. The title is a tribute to Natalie’s Native American Heritage, and features 16 original songs. The album went on to win album of the year at the 2020 New Times Music Awards, and was chosen as one of the top Ten Albums of 2020 by KCBX Radio Staff. “Puhidua” is played regularly on Krush 92.5, Kjug, and KCBX (Npr).
In September 2019 Natalie also produced and released “Electric,” a moving piano ballad about love and loss. She is currently recording her second album, “Beautiful Flaw,” set to be released the end of 2023. She also published a book of poetry in 2022 called 'Where Once Was A Fire: A Book of Love Poems.'
