“What am I to build, if my hands are broken, if I’m not the chosen one?” sings Steven McKellar of Civil Twilight on “Story of An Immigrant”, over a lush, dynamic beat that evokes the sounds of his native South Africa while steeped in the band’s everevolving present. The foursome (Steven, his brother and guitarist Andrew, drummer Richard Wouters and Kevin Dailey on keys and guitar) are living proof of what happens when you stop worrying about being the chosen one and make music built on both the roots that grew you and the love that keeps you thriving every day. Civil Twilight’s songs embrace every corner of human emotion, balancing delicate, poetic lyrics with sweeping arrangements that touch all the senses: a phrase to make you think; a rolling drumbeat you can feel in your bones; a guitar vamp as illustrative as a picture; a shimmer of keys whose light can nearly be seen and heard. Produced by Ben H. Allen (Gnarls Barkley, Bombay Bicycle Club, Cut Copy), their third record on Wind-Up is built on this vibrancy, on the permanent dust of a Cape Town youth; on the connection that unites them all as brothers beyond blood and on their new home in America where they pull from the innate, thriving musicianship of Nashville, where they live. When you listen to Civil Twilight, from their self-titled debut, to 2012’s widely lauded Holy Weather to now, it’s easy to understand why the band has topped five million YouTube views and reached historic success with film and television syncs – because it’s music you can’t shake, that translates experience into moments and creates melodies that become imbedded deep under the skin. We’re all immigrants, in some way, and Civil Twilight’s singing our national anthem.

Natalie Fideler is the front-person of her self-titled power trio currently based in Minneapolis, MN. Her solo music career began in 2018 with the release of her debut album “Steak & Eggs” which features Natalie herself on all instruments and vocals. She now performs with a band consisting of herself as the songwriter on guitar, keyboards, and lead vocals, Hailey Jacobsen on bass, and Leigh Underwood on drums.

          Natalie’s indie nerd-rock combines her love for composition and songwriting into catchy tunes that will leave you dancing and ripping your heart out at the same time. Her vulnerable lyrics transform each song into a story that speaks the truth of raw human experience, whether it be tongue in cheek or right on the nose. Natalie will be releasing her sophomore record “Three Man Army” on May 13th, 2022.

          Wes Muilenburg of Ear Coffee described Natalie saying, “[She] typifies the best kind of modern songwriter: exceptionally self-aware, willing to inject humor into what could be a morose situation, and capable of coming up with hooks for days.”

           Some of Natalie’s most recent endeavors include receiving the LGBTQ+ Emerging Artist Award from the Music Forward Foundation to fund her upcoming record, selling-out her debut album release party, having her first record “Steak & Eggs” added to MNSpin, headlining the legendary 7th St Entry of First Avenue, performing in-studio TV and radio features with Prairie Public Broadcasting, KVSC, and KDSU, and getting regular airplay on radio stations such as 93X, The Current, and KFAI.
