Cheap Tobacco

**Cheap Tobacco** is a Polish rock band blending vintage and modern sounds with a magnetic stage presence. Fronted by Natalia Kwiatkowska, a four-time winner of Poland’s "best female blues voice" title, the band defies genre labels, weaving together guitar-driven rock, electronic elements, and Natalia’s powerhouse vocals. They’ve earned critical acclaim, including a Fryderyk nomination for *Album of the Year* (for 2019’s *SZUM*) and 15 Grand Prix/Audience Awards, while touring extensively across Poland and Europe, playing festivals like Sziget and Pol’and’Rock.

Formed after a chance meeting over Jimi Hendrix’s *Little Wing* in a Kraków club, the band—Natalia, guitarist Robert Kapkowski, and others—has released three albums and tracks like *Bez Słów*, balancing raw energy and melodic storytelling. Their live shows, from tiny venues to festival stages, channel unfiltered passion, earning them a devoted following.
