This New Year's Eve experience keys sensation Natalie Brooke performing Darkside of the Moon in its entirety!
The night will begin with C4, a core group of Phat Laces members in stripped down form with powerhouse takes of hip hop classics. Natalie and her band follow with a screaming set of originals before launching into Pink Floyd's seminal classic as "The Wizard of Oz" is perfectly synced and projection mapped onto the Sanctuary walls. At the conclusion of 'Eclipse', we'll toast the new year followed by a proper NYE superjam. For auld lang syne, our loves.
Natalie Brooke is a rock star. A virtuoso funk/rock keys player leading her powerhouse 4-piece band from the Baltimore area. The explosive act is fronted by Natalie on keys, synth, keytar, and vocals and backed by drummer Nathan Shulkin, Nester on the bass, and Luke Walker on the guitar.
Natalie kicks off every show with a punch and never lets the energy drop - audiences move, dance, scream, jump, and ride the wild wave of the set with her and the band. Natalie’s music was once said to be a mashup of Rick James and Rush. She has an undeniably infectious vibe featuring a fiery blend of fast tempos and sloshy rock elements balanced with her transcendent jazz and classical roots. Natalie brings an exceptionally unique approach to the keyboard that is equally percussive and melodic that lights up the show with every electrifying note she plays. She is on a meteoric rise, frequently sharing the stage with pillars of the rock, funk, and jazz scenes. Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Andy Frasco & the UN, Big Something, Cris Jacobs, Doom Flamingo, Sunsquabi, lespecial, and the Magic Beans are a few of the artists Natalie has played with recently
