Natalie Merchant Biography
First rising to fame at the helm of the popular folk-rock band
10,000 Maniacs, Natalie Merchant subsequently enjoyed even greater
success as a solo performer as her plaintive vocals and literate,
socially conscious songs established her among the preeminent female
performers in contemporary pop. Born October 26, 1963 in Jamestown, NY,
Merchant joined 10,000 Maniacs at the age of 17, quickly becoming the
band's driving artistic force; after a pair of successful independent
releases, they signed to Elektra in 1985, and in the years to follow
emerged among the most popular acts in alternative rock, shooting into
the Top 40 with 1987's superb In My Tribe. However, around the time of
recording 1992's Our Time in Eden, Merchant gave her bandmates two
years notice, and after the release of 1994's MTV Unplugged publicly
announced she was leaving their ranks. Her 1995 solo debut, Tigerlily,
debuted just shy of the Top Ten, scoring a hit with the single
Carnival; it was followed in 1998 by Ophelia. Live in Concert,
recorded at New York's Neil Simon Theatre, appeared a year later. A
prominent social activist, Merchant also regularly campaigned in the
name of such hot-button issues as animal rights, domestic violence, and
homelessness. In 2000 Merchant toured with her band and members of
progressive folk group The Horseflies performing folk traditionals. She
returned with the Motherland LP in 2001. Two years later Merchant left
Elektra and formed the Myth America to issue House Carpenter's
Daughter, a collection of traditional and contemporary folk music
performed on the 2000 tour. 2004 saw Rhino release Campfire Songs, a
10,000 Maniacs retrospective, and a year later Merchant tallied her
ten-year solo career with Retrospective. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
