Natalie Anne O’Shea Merchant (born October 26, 1963 in Jamestown, New York, U.S.) is a professional musician. She co-founded and fronted the band 10,000 Maniacs in 1981, but she went to college, and became a feminist and then left the band in 1993 and started a successful solo career. Merchant plays the piano, produces and writes many of her songs.
Her debut solo album Tigerlily (1995) had three top-40 singles: ‘Carnival’, ‘Jealousy’ and ‘Wonder’. This was followed in 1998 with her second solo album Ophelia, her third in 2001 with Motherland, and fourth in 2003 called ‘The House Carpenter’s Daughter’.
Merchant has sung alongside Tracy Chapman, Michael Stipe, David Byrne and Peter Gabriel. She has also collaborated with Billy Bragg a number of times, including the 1998 album Mermaid Avenue. Like Bragg, her work touches on social and political themes; she has been active in promoting a number of campaigning issues in both her songs and through the causes to which she lends her name.

Got myself a ticket to the Barbican Jaxx thing to watch this incredible woman sing two songs. But I figure I may come away knowing a bit more about Jazz, AND having seen the most amazing woman sing.

I don't think her wonderfulness is given enough recognition :) ! When I started listening to her music, I recognized it because it turns out my father used to play it to me all the time when I was a kid.. Isn't that amazing! I was born to be obsessed with music, especially music as amazing as this ^^
