Natureboy - Natureboy

Natureboy is the musical project of sara kermanshahi, a first generation american of iranian descent. sara created natureboy upon moving to brooklyn, ny in 2007. she is a former member of seattle’s critically acclaimed house on a hill, a musical collaboration with cedar apffel. cedar produced her debut and now plays in natureboy’s backing band, along with musician/producer rory o’connor (masterface). natureboy weaves modern loops & samples with acoustic folk to create a haunting synthesis of moody and intelligent, melodic and angular music. her lyrics are both starkly emotional and strangely evocative; drawing the listener into a strange and resonant world that persists long after the music is over. natureboy’s live performances are as captivating as her music. onstage, sara closes her eyes, curls up her toes, and gives herself completely over to the audience. what emerges is gorgeous, vulnerable, and almost threatening. her band backs up her sound with tastefully-woven waves of guitar, synth, bass and drums, adding to the power of her unique, natural vocal style and skillful guitar playing. riyl: bon iver, beach house, cat power, mazzy star.
