Natalie Shelar

Chant, Guitare Acoustique, Mandoline

Since the mid-1980's Natalie Shelar has been a key figure on the growing alternative country scene in Europe, which has extended its roots from its major outposts of Los Angeles and Austin.

Natalie was seven when her family moved to Tucson, Arizona, presenting her with a new spectrum of sounds including surf, blues, and Southern California country-rock.

Greater musical challenges lured Natalie to France in 1996. She quickly cut an impressive niche in the competitive club and festival scene all over Europe, honing her vocal abilities and developing a keen instinct for strong live material.

DETOUR's performance is filled with variety of styles that allows her to wrap her powerful voice around both hard-hitting rockers and twangy ballads with masterful authority and admirable conviction. Natalie combines wit and a dynamic stage presence with an exceptional voice and instrumental skills.
