Hicks ,'The Long Night'is a former #1 video clip on the Country Music
Channel, Country Track Top 15 and #2 Top 100 Country Hit. With its modern
blend of mandolin, fiddle and steel, this passionate duet captures the
haunting feeling of two people who share the same loneliness and deep
longing for each other from a distance.

summer song that opens with sliding pedal steel hook, fusing guitars and a
spunky beat. It is modern country mixed with pop and rock styles.

Natalie HOWARD Wins the Country Song Category in USA 2006 Independent Music Awards
and also has #1 Hit on Country Music Channel
The Gold Coast artist/songwriter has won the Country Song of the Year in the
5th Annual Independent Music Awards in the United States with her song 'I
Don't Want To Live Like That' from her debut album 'Yesterday's Makeup'
launched this year at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.

What a great win for Natalie.  Martin Folkman, Program Director of Music
Resource Group said:
"This year generated the largest number of entries to date, making this
deserved achievement that much more significant".

"The Independent Music Awards draws entries from artists and bands
throughout the world who create, record and market music without the benefit
of access to major media channels, a restriction that places special demands
and challenges on these fine artists' abilities.  Among the program benefits
IMA Winners receive is access to tools that can help them market, manage,
promote and build their careers".

"Selected from thousands of CDs and Electronic submissions, the winners of
this year's IMAs represent a vital source of inspiration and spirit for all
who make and appreciate music."

The judging panel included a distinguished group of artists and industry
professionals - Norah Jones, Melissa Etheridge, Joe Perry, Bill Wyman,
George Clinton, Jonatha Brooke, Chris Thile, Paquito D'Rivera, Sara Lee,
Hubert Sumlin, Abby White, Alexandra Patsdavas, Robert Goodale, Melinda
Newman and Dan Storper.

The online Jukebox and the full list of 2006 Independent Music Award winners
will be available soon on
www.musiciansatlas.com

Natalie has had a very exciting year since the release of her debut
album 'Yesterday's Makeup'.  The recent win of the Musicoz CMC Best Country
Artist Award in Wollongong on 1st December with her song 'I Can't', plus Top
10 nomination in the Pop Category: her current video clip 'You Never Knew
Me' hit #1 this week on the Country Music Channel Top 20 Countdown Chart
while 'The Long Night' reached #1 in June this year: a runner-up award in the
2005 International Acoustic Music Awards with her song 'I Want To Get Out'
as well as a win and numerous finalist nominations in various songwriting
awards.

Natalie has had 3 consecutive Country Track Top 15 Hits... 'I Don't Want To
Live Like That', 'The Long Night' and 'You Never Knew Me'.  Her new
single 'Is It Just Me' was released to radio last week (NFS#102 Track 1). Co-
written by Natalie with Nashville writers Rob Crosby (Martina McBride/Brooks
& Dunn) and Craig Carp (Alan Jackson), this song asks the question "Is it a
one sided love affair?".  This is modern country, mixed with pop and rock

Natalie HOWARD's NEW Radio SINGLE 'YOU NEVER KNEW ME'
NFS No. 98 Track 7


Natalie's next single 'YOU NEVER KNEW ME' has gone out to radio this week on
NFS No. 98 Track 7.
This third release off her sensational debut album 'Yesterday's Makeup' is a
quirky, tongue in cheek, upbeat acoustic driven toe-tapper that Natalie
herself best describes it's catchy style as 'Newgrass'.  This song is
Natalie's own interpretation of bluegrass country and shows her sense of
humour and versatility as an artist songwriter.
'You Never Knew Me', written by Natalie with Brian Dean Maher (Mindy
McCready, Lila McCann), the son of Brent Maher, famous for producing
successful mother/daughter duo, 'The Judds', is a frank retort to an old
flame - after realising he's made a mistake in leaving her in the first
place, he tries to smooth things over and get back together but she will
have no more of it.
"Blessed vocally and with an ability to write songs with substance rather
than just be album fillers, Natalie's release 'Yesterday's Makeup' is equal
to any major label release both here or from overseas".....Bob Anthony
Jnr.....Album Review
Natalie will be performing at the 2005 Mildura Country Music Festival and
The Australian Independent Country Music Awards Ceremony in
