CATIE CURTISTickets $22.00 ~ Showtime 8:00 pm"Singer/songwriter Catie gives a warm, fame worthy performance." (John Ziegler, Duluth News Tribune) Catie Curtis' style is rootsy and folky but with the rhythmic undercurrent of pop/rock music. Curtis is known for her compelling melodies, relaxed grooves, and subject matter ranging from philosophical to political, romantic to maternal. She performed on the Lilith Fair Tour, and tours now full-time in the US and Europe to a fanbase that has been built over years of returning to the folk clubs and theaters that are the foundation of the acoustic music scene. Her songs have appeared on TV shows from Grey's Anatomy to Alias, and in many films including the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movie "Our Lips Are Sealed."Catie Curtis just wanted to play the drums. She got her first kit when she turned 12. At age 15, she was hired to play drums for a musical theater production at the amusement park in her hometown of Saco, Maine. The production manager of the show gave Curtis her first guitar saying, "I will give you this if you promise me you'll learn to play it." Curtis taught herself to play and write songs by listening to singer/songwriters like the quirky Melanie, Karla Bonoff and the quietly philosophical Cat Stevens. Later, she learned about the grassroots folk scene while attending Brown University. Friends took her to concerts at the Stone Soup Coffeehouse, introducing her to "under the radar" artists like Cheryl Wheeler and Greg Brown. Curtis gravitated toward the solo acoustic guitar, lyric-driven music, and the sometimes comedic exchange between performer and audience. Catie has been a fan favorite on the acoustic music scene for a number of years now. Her well-deserved reputation as one of our very best singer/songwriters has followed her through nine critically-acclaimed recordings. With her tenth and newest project, Hello Stranger, released in August 2009, she gifts her loyal fan base and entices new listeners with a recording that captures some of the magic of her live performances. With the help of her Nashville-based record label, Compass Records, she selected a few of Nashville's best musicians to make an album featuring fiddle, mandolin and banjo as well
