     Originally from the lovely Southern town of Clarkesville, Georgia, Natalie Nash is a singer and entertainer who relocated to Nashville, Tennessee in February 2004 to pursue her musical interests.  Singing and performing have always been very natural to Natalie because she grew up watching her parents perform in gospel groups and began singing in church choir productions and musicals at an early age.  While she was in high school, Natalie and her parents formed a gospel group and sang in local churches.  She soon became interested in musical theatre, dancing, and playing the trumpet.  She played the lead female roles in several musicals including The Little Match Girl, Give My Regards to Broadway, Pippin, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.  Having received dance instruction, Natalie was responsible for choreographing the majority of her solo songs.  Natalie competed in and won several local talent contests and expanded her musical abilities by becoming involved in the Habersham Central Band of Blue.  She was the first chair trumpet player in the symphonic band and the head drum major of the marching band.  In her senior year, Natalie was selected by her classmates as the most talented female of her class.

     Natalie continued to perform during her college career at North Georgia College and State University.  While pursuing a nursing degree, Natalie sang soprano in the NGCSU Choir Ensemble, was the song leader in the Delta Zeta sorority, and was chosen to sing for thousands of people who attended the 1996 Olympic Torch Ceremony in Clarkesville, Georgia.  Natalie began singing in the United Community Bank Annual Banker’s Hour, a musical variety show with a usual attendance of 6,500 - 7,000 people.  In addition to performing as a solo act, Natalie sang background vocals for the other acts in the show.  Although country music is her favorite, Natalie has performed many different genres of music including gospel, Broadway musical, pop, Christian, and blue grass.  During college, Natalie sang background and lead vocals in two different country and Southern rock bands.  She performed with a blue grass group and was a featured singer on their weekly television show, “Roots and Branches.”  Remaining true to her roots, Natalie continued to sing in church and became the leader of the Nacoochee United Methodist praise band.  Under Natalie’s leadership and the Lord’s will, the praise band created a very meaningful and spiritual service and produced two praise-and-worship CDs.

     Music has even been a part of Natalie’s nursing career.  While employed as a registered nurse at Northeast Georgia Medical Center, she was known as “the singing nurse.”  Natalie sang to her terminal and very ill patients to give them hope and encouragement, and she has even been asked to sing at some of her former patients’ funeral services.  The Gainesville Times wrote an article about Natalie singing to her patients and using her voice as spiritual healing.  Upon moving to Nashville, Natalie transferred her nursing career to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.  She is pursuing her musical interests in Nashville by entering contests and working on her songwriting skills.  She has been the winner of Nashville Palace’s Live Audition, Crossroads’ Singers Challenge, The Hotel Preston’s talent contest, and Wildhorse Saloon’s Sing to Win contest. 

     Natalie never dreamed that she would meet her lifelong companion and soul mate, Tepoe Nash, while performing in a singing contest.  Natalie and Tepoe quickly became friends and began performing together in songwriting events in Nashville.  After many fun-filled and exciting months of dating, traveling, and performing, Natalie and Tepoe married on December 9, 2006.  Natalie and Tepoe enjoy pursuing their musical interests together and plan to continue composing, performing, and recording.  They often perform with Natalie's brother, Holcomb Burke, and Hall of Fame inductee, Wayne Moss from the group Barefoot Jerry.  While aspiring to become a professional recording artist and entertainer, Natalie ultimately wants to use the talents God has given her to make the world a happier and brighter place.
