Natalie Tucker

Dewey, Natalie, and Gerry after a 1998 concert.

Meet Natalie Tucker from Kansas City, Kansas.

My name is Natalie Tucker and I'm originally from Kansas City but going to school at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. I am 18 years old and majoring in Film. My dream is to edit and film movies or tv shows or any type of film I can get my hands on.

When I was a kid my mom would play America all the time but i didn't really start listening to them on my own till I was 16 or so. Then I started buying their CD's cause my mom's records were getting too scratchy. My favorite song is Molten Love. Don't ask me why... there's just something about that song that takes me away. My favorite CD is Holiday, which I had to buy as an import form Germany or something like that.

Don't ask me how many times I've seen America cause I lost count last year. But each time they come in concert they just keep getting better and better. The one thing that impresses me the most is their stage presence. They always look like they're having a great time... always smiling at everyone. It's so much funner to go to a concert when you know the band is having fun along with you. That's one thing that separates America from everyone else. Everyone has fun!!!

One more funny thing about myself...... the song Three Roses.... me and 2 other of my friends decided to get matching tattoos. So I suggested that the three of us get "three roses" for the America song that I loved so much. They're not as into America as I am so they didn't get it. But each of us did get a rose tattoo and every time I hear that song I think of the three of us.. Me, Amy and Sarah...... but I hope my dad isn't reading this cause he doesn't know about any tattoo yet! OH WELL!!!!

Here are some links to photos I had taken at the 1999 Orem concert.
