TACAW is pleased to announce the second night in a collaborative series with the American artistic treasure, William H. Macy. Bill is an Emmy Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated actor, director, producer, screenwriter, and budding songwriter/ukulele player.
Hosted by William H Macy, Bill’s Room is an evening of songs, stories, and interesting conversations with special guests. Joining Bill’s house band, The Roommates, this edition’s special musical guests include Americana guitarist Frank Martin and songwriter/folksinger Natalie Spears.
Frank Martin
Frank Gayer Martin picked up the guitar and lifted his voice at the age of thirteen. Born in Houston, transplanted as kid to Colorado, Martin was hooked by the wounded charisma of Gram Parson which lead to the taproots of Americana – Bob Wills, Bill Monroe, Clifton Chenier, Buck Owens – and all things Hee Haw.

Natalie Spears
Natalie Spears brings listeners in touch with the warmth of community, the quiet awe of wild places, and the intimate corners of humanity. Inspired by her father’s English Folk heritage, his talents as a jazz pianist, and her own explorations, Natalie carries a deep love for both musical tradition and evolution. Drawing on these roots and pulling from a quiver of instruments (banjo, piano, and guitar), her performance is dynamic as she navigates between tonal worlds. Natalie’s angelic voice threads together a sonic language of both nostalgic and contemporary colors, creating a vibrant musical narrative of her own. She has toured throughout the nation playing venues such as the John Hartford Memorial Festival, Blackpot Festival, Palisade Folk and Roots Festival, and Tico Bluegrass Festival. In 2021, Natalie’s duo, Lizzy Plotkin & Natalie Spears, released their debut EP, “Just Over the Ridge,” and her song Seasons Change reached #4 song of the year on the Folk Alliance International DJ Folk Charts. She is currently recording her debut solo record, “The Hymn Of Wild Things,” and touring her music in listening rooms, living rooms, and at festivals.
