Hello Friends!

Here we are in May and summertime has begun! My life has been crazy busy but exciting. I just recently signed a one year contract with FFE Trucking to be their spokesperson. I will be doing web podcasts, print and commercial work, and a few concerts at the Trucking Show in Dallas, TX. I'm very excited about working with this company. Our truckers are the reason America runs. They are away from their families, on the road...day in and day out to keep America going. If it weren't for them, all of our lives would be different...we take for granted all the things we have in our lives due to the man behind that semi. I am proud to be sponsoring our truckers and FFE, it's a wonderful company.

I will soon have my CD, "Sign of Things to Come", for sale on my myspace page (myspace.com/natalietidwellmusic) and right here. I will autograph every CD, so keep coming back for more info. Thanks again for all your love and support!

Sincerely,

Natalie Tidwell

Hello Friends!

Thank you so much for your continuing love and support. I finally finished my first round of recordings. You can hear them in full on www.myspace.com/natalietidwellmusic and I would love to hear your feedback. I am going to make my new CD available on my website here and on my myspace page so I would love to have your support! I will personally sign every CD and send a picture along with it, so you can't lose! I am so proud of my new music.

I just recently was signed as the new spokesperson for FFE! This is an amazing company and I am so honored to be a part of this great trucking company. I plan to get every driver out there to sign on with FFE! More on this partnership to come.

Stay tuned for many live dates as well. I would love to see all my NatFans in the audience!

Love Always,

Natalie

Hello Everyone!

Hope summer was wonderful for all of you. I can't believe we're getting into the fall season. I've been keeping busy with working in the studio on my next project. I will be putting up some of the songs on my myspace page to get feedback from fans. These are pre-production (me and the guitar) tracks so keep that in mind. I do believe that the fans will pick the best songs so go to www.myspace.com/natalietidwellmusic in a week and listen to those songs. I'll add two new ones and then in a few more weeks, I'll add another two new songs. I'm hoping that we get full production songs by the end of the month...very exciting!! By October, we'll be pitching to labels so keep me in your prayers. This is what I'm meant to do.

Love Always,

Natalie

Hey Everyone!

Long time no website chat! Life has been great and very busy and I've been busy starting what I think will be the best demo I will ever record. I'm working with two very talented people in the business and we will be going into the studio to record a demo and then eventually (probably late summer) pitch that demo to labels. I know many of you are always asking what steps I'm taking to get a record deal and that's a rough draft of what's happening, but it's such an intricate, complicated process. I think this is going to be my year! :)

I'm also still writing quite abit and just finished a song with Jan Linville that I think is going to be a killer tune! I'll probably go in the studio in about a week or so to record that. If any of you get to Nashville, come see me perform at Fuel every Wednesday around 7:30pm. If you can't be in Nashville, check out www.fuelsecondavenue.com and watch me sing live!

Thanks again for your continuing support of my career. I couldn't carry on without the love and support from friends and family.

"If you want to be given everything, give everything up" You'll only grow weak if you put your faith in everything material but putting your faith in God will bring you an abundance of everything you need.

Love,

Hey Everyone!

Life has been so unbelieveably busy here in Nashville, but that's a good thing, right? I'm now back in the throw of things here now that the music business is back to ordinary from the long holiday break (they do that here in Nashville). I've been busy singing with a band called Hoffman. We just finished a few performances at the Wildhorse Saloon and we will be doing more closer to the summer. The Wildhorse is a phenominal place to perform and any of you visiting Nashville should check that place out if you can. I'm now also back into full rehearsals with the Elle Revue. We are getting ready to start a full tour this year and playing for casinos all over the U.S. plus a few performances here in Nashville. I'm still enjoying the girls I work with and it's such a fun show...check us out!

My main focus, however, is my own career. I'm writing as much as possible with great writers such as Larry Wayne Clark, Chuck Floyd, Chip Martin, Jan Linville, Dennis McCall, Jeff Walters, and Queenie Mullinax to name a few. They are such huge supporters of my career and I feel fortunate to write with them. I'm also taking up guitar lessons. It will help me tremendously in the writing factor but more than that, I can play out without having to find someone to play for me. Sometimes I can just kick myself for not agreeing to take lessons when I was younger (my parents offered all the time) but I was too busy with my social life and singing everywhere but I guess singing all the time helped me too. Nashville is all about hitting the pavement and digging in the trenches and that's what I'm doing. I'm surrounding myself with good people. That's what counts.

I recently lost my grandpa and I will always have a special place in my heart for him. It wasn't just losing him that made me so sad, it was the thought that in perhaps 20 years, we might lose that whole "Greatest Generation". It's so hard for me to imagine that at one point we will not have one living soul on this planet who experienced WW1 or the trials and tribulations of that era. Call up your Grandma and Grandpa today and make sure you ask all kinds of questions about their life and experiences. I don't want their stories to be lost. He truly lived in the Greatest Generation and I already miss him so much.

Love Always,

Natalie

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I can't believe that Christmas is almost here. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Oklahoma with my family and friends and I will be traveling back to the great state of Oklahoma for the Christmas holidays and to celebrate my lit'l brother's wedding. He's not all that little anymore but I can't believe he's stepping into this chapter of his life. I will celebrate yet another birthday in a week. I remember looking forward to that day all year, now I wish I could just make it go away or at least celebrate it without gaining any new lines, crows feet around the eyes, or a slower metabolism. Oh well. I feel blessed everyday to be where I am and to be doing what I love so if I'm getting older while I'm doing it then maybe I'm doing it just alittle wiser.

The Elle Revue show had it's last show of the year on December 1st. We had such a crowd! Las Vegas was wonderful and we have many prospects for show bookings, including a show in Japan! How exciting will that be? I will keep you posted on all that. I will be traveling back to Orlando to perform for Siemens Medical Group in January and will be performing for the Oklahoma Governor's Ball in January too.

We will be adding two new songs to the website so check back to listen to those and I now have a music page up on MySpace. Please check it out! Go to www.myspace.com/natalietidwellmusic.

Thank you so much for your continued support and love. I especially feel so blessed during this time of the year when we focus on things that really matter in life, but I feel blessed for my fans and family and my friends all year round.

Merry Christmas and Happy 2007!

Natalie

Hello Natfans!

I can't believe it's already almost November! I've been so busy with my shows and demo work, time is flying by so fast. November is going to be such a crazy month for me but I'm so excited. Orlando, Las Vegas, shows in Nashville and then off to Oklahoma for Miss South OKC, I'm keeping busy. Plus, Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I get to do my favorite thing in the world...be lazy with family and friends. I hope that all of you have a wonderful November and Thanksgiving holiday. It's a time to be thankful for all the blessings we have. No matter how difficult life might get sometimes, I know that all of us can find those blessings that make the hard times easier to bare.

I'm going into the studio to record a new song this month and I hope to have a sample up on this website as soon as it's mixed and mastered. I'm also cowriting with some great writers and it's very exciting to see a song that I wrote come to life. What a wonderful feeling! I'm not great at it yet, but I can see why those who do it well can't do anything else. It fills you up inside. Singing does that for me. Songwriting is such an amazing gift. Not sure that God gave me the gift of songwriting, but it doesn't hurt to find out! How do we know the gifts we are given until we open the box?

I know I had you all praying for me for an important audition. Well, I did not get the part but it's okay. I feel there is a reason and I'm meant to do other things. Prayer is an amazing thing. I appreciate it so much and you don't have to stop keeping me in your prayers. This business is so tough, that I need them. I feel very lucky that I've been given so much already in my career but I definitely need your love and support.

Thank you for everything,

Natalie

I had a showcase at Billy Block's Western Beat at 12th and Porter Tuesday night. It went great! I'm part of a band called Hoffman, lead by Jason Hoffman. We have another performance on Halloween and November 7th.

I had my last official show tonight at Gibson Showcase for a while. The owner of our show bought a new theatre for us and we will move there as soon as it's ready. Until then, we will be doing private party and corporate gigs.

I'm leaving this weekend for a nice vacation to Oklahoma for my one year wedding anniversary! It's gone by so fast, I can't believe it's already here. Marriage is wonderful. I'm in a business where its' sanctity is not always honored, but I believe it's the most wonderful gift God has given us as human beings. I feel honored and proud to have such a wonderful and supportive husband. As my mom always told me growing up, and I continue to hear her voice in my head today, "Marriage is a choice you make every day. Choose love." You don't just fall in and out of love with someone. It doesn't just happen, you choose it.

I'm getting ready to have one of the most important auditions of my life on October 3rd. I need all your prayers and good thoughts. I will let you know how it goes afterwards. Just put me in your prayers!

I'll keep you posted on October events soon!

Love,

Natalie
