Don McNatt: Press

“I wish you guys could hear the terrific feedback I'm getting from my friends that came to my home for your house concert. They all think I'm a genius for planning such an entertaining event. Most have already asked me if I plan to do more (and, of course, I do). I'm almost embarrassed to let them know how easy it was. I sent out a few e-mails and made some cookies!!!”

“Seriously, I do want to thank you for a delightful evening. A special magic happens when fans get to share the energy with the folks who create the music. The folks that were here feel like they have made new friends. I hope you do too!”

“A lot of storys to tell... thats what Karen and Don McNatt had, too. They were coming from Nashville, Tennesse especially for the show. Don McNatt is a well known Songwriter there that even has his own TV-Show. Of course their songs are about love, too, especially the late love, but also about memories going lost or an indian medicine man in "Rain Dancing". Also they dont let miss humor, like in "I want to speak spanish".”

"Don and Karen McNatt -Two more talented people, you won't find anywhere."

“The McNatts are both ASCAP Songwriters, and live in Antioch, TN, but they are also performers. They have spent the last few years traveling around the planet with their music. They recently returned from Bavaria, in Germany, where they played for sold out houses, and they will return there, in November. They also spend time in Texas, and around the Southeast.
They were recently featured on the syndicated radio program (35 Stations) “The Sucarnochee Review “, coming from south Alabama. Davidson County residents will recognize from his local TV program, “Writers in the Round with Don McNatt and Friends”, that plays in the Nashville area 5 times per week..”

..."Two especially I would like to mention; Don and Karen McNatt. These are the people who make places like Nashville 'unique' where music is part of a daily routine like sipping a cup of coffee in the morning and playing songs and rehearsing songs before taking a shower and going to work. Music is present at every moment in the day, and playing music is a natural thing, a way of being," ...

The Dog in My Dreams - Don McNatt (SMPLZAT)
This former member of Spiral Staircase now based in Nashville presents a broad offering for a songwriter album, with big-sounding production to match McNatt's robust voice. The title track is a roundabout telling of a man's concern that he may not live up to the girl of his dreams. There are fun songs like his singalong appeal to a Mexican waitress "I Wanna Speak Spanish." McNatt shows an affinity for emotive songs on both sides of love, particularly with the moving "Bless the Day" and the addiction allegory "Givin' Me Up." The rallying "For Your Love" slowly builds steam to a pitch that will keep the tune bouncing around your head. And "Rain Dancing" resonates with powerful vocal choruses and a catchy rhythm.

Who expected a Country singer with Don McNatt, because he comes from Nashville, that not only surprised of his joke and charm, but also of his music titles. Which perhaps reminded its urwuechsig working, clear, native musical and text language of the Country music was. One believed to know his Songs and him already eternally.

"The biggest surprise is the performance of singer/songwriter Don McNatt, who hosts the cable-access television show Writers in the Round. He's absolutely delightful as Rex, the domesticated shepherd-collie mixed-breed."

"...Don McNatt creates a series of memorable characters..."

Lead singer Don McNatt has a structured but still natural stage act. a la Mick Jagger, that allows him to put his theatrical background to good use. ( McNatt had a leading role in "Hair" and later Jerome Ragni asked him to go to Miami to open his next show) Jumping back and forth and using everything on the stage (sometimes including the other musicians)as his props, McNatt gives Quo Jr. th totality of a show, not just a band.
