We enjoyed a nice summer evening with the sunset listening to 10K Maniacs from maybe 20 feet away. Natalie hasn’t been with the band since the 90s "A Republic, if you can keep it." ~ B. Franklin

Issue must have been resolved, though, since available again.

Some of her best work was after she went solo, it showcased her vocal talent far more than the Maniacs style allowed.....listen to the 2 tracks I posted, Natalie solo.

CharlieFoxtrot Campfire Tracker C Joined: Jun 2013 Posts: 4,829 Great Lake State	Mary Ramsey has been with the band since the early 90s. Hard to tell her apart vocally from NM. The band was still tight as ever and sounded great although I hear a few members left the band recently. We got to BS with them at a local bar afterwards while they signed some swag. Cool dudes who just like making music. Any band of 30 years plus usually has some turnover, someone dies, or it implodes. The only ones that come to mind who didn't are the Stones and U2, but I guess Wyman retired from the Stones, so there's that.

From Zeppelin to Leonard Skinner to the Allmann Bros, losing 1 key member especially the singer and they are done. Natalie left in 93, that was a loooong time ago.

The band is as good as it ever was - the line up last year had some great guitar playing. Vocals were good, but not a clone of NM, nor should she be. NM did a gig with the Cowboy Junkies that was amazing. I have nothing against her. The vid is just that, nothing more. Chill bro. "A Republic, if you can keep it." ~ B. Franklin
