SIX studio cuts are now available for your listening pleasure! Recorded with the "Dream Team" of Dave R, Dave H, Crafty, and Greg and Walkin Shoes with Ryan Langley on bass at DJW! 44 songs are now in complete copyright and registered with BMI.
Publishing arrangements will be handled by Warner Publishing BMI of Nashville, with my good friend Wayne Warner going to bat for me.
Special thanks to the following people and studios...... Play On Studios/Dave Hanner for recording/arranging Teardrops, Alliteration, and Here I Am, and recording Dreams Do and Come Down; DJW Audio/Doug Wilkin for recording "Walkin' Shoes"; and Albey Road Studio/Al Snyder for final production work on Come Down and Dreams Do, and for all the great stuff we are going to be knocking out in the near future. Special thanks to all my "boys in the band", Dave Rudovsky, Greg Stewart, Bob "Crafty" Crafton, Dave Hanner, Ryan Langley, and Al Snyder. Without all of this wonderful talent, the music would not have the life it has. I'm awed and humbled by the talent I'm surrounded by.
What everyone needs to know is that I am first and foremost a songwriter. I'd rather hear the voice I heard sing the song when I wrote it do it than mine. Ok, so I hear "voices", call the guys in the white coats and haul me off. I just sing for fun, and as long as its good enough not to make your ears bleed, I've done ok.
Cathy is a 1986 graduate of Duquesne University's School of Music, a trumpet major with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education. Finding teaching jobs was difficult, so she pursued her other love and has had her own pet grooming business and raises champion beagles. Music finally had time to come back and make a new impact on her life, with support from her biggest fan, daughter Brianne and her husband, Brian.
"Every song the good Lord blesses me with, whether Christian, country, blues or rock, has a story or a message. God's been good to me. If I reach one person with one song, all the struggles have been worth it."
She also performs her new material regularly at the Bloomfield Bridge Tavern's songwriter's open mic nights every Tuesday.
She is registered with BMI as a songwriter/composer.
