Natale
Adult contemporary music is a dish best served from the soul, and no one knows this like Chris Putrino who records under the name Natale. 
Putrino has been entertaining the Phoenix-Scottsdale area with his brand of dimly-lit, seductive songwriting.  His puppy dog eyes and charming voice render his music a sexual-mood creator:  he has the physical characteristics and charisma of Richard Gere and the vocal insistence of Sting. 

There’s a reliable consistency found only in late 80s, early 90s soft Christmas hits.  The guitar playing combined with his smooth, breathy vocals sets the mood like a young Bryan Adams. With love and yearning at the center of many of his lyrics, Putrino handles his subject matter with an engaging maturity that will keep you coming back for more. 

His love ballads are a serving of the real deal, and you can catch him every Saturday night from 7-9pm at Rare Earth Wine Bar in Scottsdale.
