Natalie York + Molly Hagen December 30, 2010

Molly Hagen is a Washington, DC-based singer/songwriter who credits her musical influences of Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, and Norah Jones (to name a few...) for spawning her blues-country-pop sound. Molly has performed at local venues such as the 930 Club, Rock and Roll Hotel, Jammin' Java, and Iota Club and Cafe. She has toured cities on the east coast and has made frequent stops in New York, playing venues such as the Bitter End and Angels and Kings. Molly plays solo or with a full band, and has shared the stage with many local artists, as well as nationally-known artists such as Martin Sexton and Basia Bulat. She is currently putting the finishing touches on her second EP. Stay in touch and stay tuned for the release!

Natalie York is a homegrown, Vienna, Va., singer-songwriter who combines the sass of the Stax soul sound and the sensitivity of contemporary folk to produce truly romantic and haunting songs that will stay with you. A senior at the University ofMiami, she'll be the first graduate in December 2010 of the music school's Bruce Hornsby Creative American Music Program. She's opened for Grammy winners Hornsby, Shawn Colvin and Jim Lauderdale, and this fall shared the stage with legendary songwriter and Motown great Lamont Dozier.

Natalie has been writing songs since the fifth grade at Louise Archer Elementary School when her teacher intercepted a sheet of lyrics Natalie was trying to pass to a bandmate underneath the desks. She's more careful about that now, housing her lyrics in a notebook collection fit for the record books. But it all really got started for Natalie at the ripe age of 13 when she spent her first summer at the University of Virginia's Young Writers Workshop, under the tutelage of songwriters Tom Prasada-Rao and Andrew Gregory. She caught the bug and kept coming back to the workshop, year after year.

Natalie is returning to Jammin' Java to release her new CD "THREADS." She first appeared on the Jammin' Java stage as the jazz singer/alto sax player with the James Madison High School band. So what now? Be there to support a hometown girl out to take on the world!

"Joe Frazier, Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis, watch out. Natalie York packs a huge wallop, one that will make even the biggest, toughest men sit down and cry for a while." -Andrew Gregory of the Gregory Brothers
