Since signing her first publishing deal at 19, Nashville’s Natalie Hemby has become one of most successful and sought after songwriters in music, with countless hit songs recorded by artists such as Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris, Sheryl Crow, Miranda Lambert, Lady Gaga, Yola, Dierks Bentley, Rag&Bone Man, Lady A, Kelly Clarkson, Little Big Town and Labrinth, to name a few. Now, she’s offering her own voice to her prolific storytelling with the release of her brilliant sophomore album ‘Pins and Needles.’
Written by Hemby with songwriters including Miranda Lambert, Brothers Osborne, Aaron Raitiere, Daniel Tashian and others, and produced by her husband and collaborator Mike Wrucke, the album explores the full range of Hemby's musical gifts, spanning influences from Tom Petty to Sheryl Crow and the early 90’s rock and roots she was raised on — with incomparable individuality.
‘Pins and Needles marks Hemby’s first new music since joining forces with Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris and Amanda Shires as The Highwomen to release their critically acclaimed self-titled album in 2019. As a result, Hemby earned a Country Song of the Year GRAMMY®, following her first GRAMMY® win for Best Song Written for Visual Media for Lady Gaga’s “I’ll Never Love Again,” from A Star Is Born, among five career nominations.
Hemby has also been recognized by the ACM, CMA, CMT and NSAI Awards for her prodigious and versatile contributions to songwriting.
