Central Coast singer-songwriter Natalie Haskins has been performing her original music for nearly 20 years. She calls her sound California Americana — a blend of storytelling, heritage, and roots-inspired songwriting shaped by the landscapes she calls home.

In the summer of 2024, Natalie relocated to the northern coast of Ireland, where she is now based, while continuing to travel back to California to perform. Her debut album, Puhidua, won Album of the Year in 2020 at the New Times Music Awards. She followed it with a spoken poetry record and, in 2024, released her sophomore full-length album, Beautiful Flaw.

She is currently working on her third recording project — written, recorded, and produced in Ireland — exploring themes of cowboy folklore, early music preservation in America and Ireland, love, family, heritage, and even the story of an unsolved murder in Northern Ireland.

Seeking community wherever she goes, Natalie has long advocated for female songwriters. She co-founded The Feminine Collective in San Luis Obispo County, building connection through monthly meetups that support and uplift women in music. In Northern Ireland, she launched and now hosts a monthly Songwriter Showcase, creating space for local artists to share their original stories and songs within their own community.

Natalie’s live shows are filled with heart. Through stories woven between songs, she seeks genuine connection with her audience, inviting them into the histories and humanity behind the music.
