Natalia Bonfini is a blues and funk singer/songwriter born and raised on Cape Cod. She first picked up the guitar at age 7, musically inspired by her drummer father, and soon after started busking locally. Those early years of performing on the streets taught her how to quickly captivate any audience, no matter the stage.

A finalist on season 20 of American Idol, she auditioned with The Allman Brothers’ "Whipping Post", and finished in the top 50 of over 100,000 contestants. She has since performed alongside tremendous national acts such as Allen Stone, Bruce Springsteen, David Cook, Crystal Bowersox, and Joe Lewis Walker. An award winning songwriter, her single “Before” won the New England Songwriters Competition and received honorable mention in SongDoor’s International Competition.

Reinventing your favorite covers, Natalia mashes up genres from soul to pop to classic rock but always finds a way back to her blues roots. With a sound reminiscent of Janis Joplin and commanding lyrics such as those of Alanis Morissette, she comes alive on stage and is a must-see.

Backed by an incredible band who are all local to the Cape; Keb Hutchings, a world class 21-year-old guitarist, Dave Ellis, a versatile drumming phenom, and dynamic bassist Rich Hill, the group is thrilled to make their Big E debut!
