Original • Soulful • Saratoga-Born
Little Saints is an original, genre-bending trio born in Saratoga Springs, NY. Fronted by singer/songwriter Natalie Santini, with guitarist Andy Arnold and bassist Ian Dingman, the band blends Americana, Indie-Folk, and Modern Soul into a sound that is both fresh and deeply rooted.
Formed in 2019 after Natalie and Andy met and began merging her powerful, agile vocals and honest songwriting with his raw-yet-refined guitar playing, Little Saints has grown into one of the region’s most exciting and dynamic new acts. Their music draws on influences such as Brandi Carlile, Stevie Wonder, and Tedeschi Trucks Band, as well as the peers and songwriters in their community. With a combined 50 years of musical experience, the trio delivers performances filled with harrowing lyrics, mature musicianship, and a genuine connection to the audience.
MEET THE BAND
Natalie Santini – Vocals/Guitar
A Western NY native, Natalie’s musical roots stretch from SUNY Fredonia’s a cappella groups to years spent in the Adirondacks teaching environmental education and writing songs inspired by the wilderness. Her voice is commanding and emotive, her lyrics honest and deeply personal.
Andy Arnold – Guitar
Raised in Glens Falls, Andy grew up absorbing everything from Ozzy Osbourne to classic country vinyl spinning at his grandparents’ home. Accepted into Berklee College of Music, he has since carved out his own expressive, hard-earned guitar style—rich in tone, personality, and heart.
Ian Dingman – Bass
A classically trained bassist who performed with the World Civic Orchestra at Lincoln Center as a high school senior, Ian later earned his degree at the Crane School of Music. When he’s not onstage, he teaches orchestra, bringing his skill and passion to the next generation.
Together, Little Saints offers a genuine, heartfelt musical experience, weaving together soulful vocals, intricate guitar work, and melodic basslines. Their live shows are dynamic and immersive—full of emotional depth and refined instrumentation.
