Cathy-Anne McClintock

by Steven McClintock
(Long Beach, CA, USA)

Multi award-winning Folk/Americana artist
Recently nominated for Hollywood Music and Media Awards in the Country Category and included in Music Connection's 2009 The 100 BEST Unsigned Bands.

The vocal stylings of Cathy-Anne along with her well crafted, personal songs create a beautiful outcome that's both edgy and hip while still strongly reflecting the bluegrass and pop influences.

Featured in Billboard, the Record, and Marquee magazine to name a few, her tune ‘I Wanna Live Like That’ has been recorded and released, by a vast array of artists, over 35 times internationally, as well as featured on Disney and HBO, Showtime and Pax.

Nine time winner of British Columbia’s Best Bluegrass Group, Best Country Group and Best Country CD.

Cathy-Anne's first solo CD features songs with Grammy Award winning Bluegrass/Folk legend, Tim O’Brien and Alan Doyle from renowned Canadian Celtic, rock group, Great Big Sea. Grammy award winners, John Reischman, and Jim Nunally, join fellow Juno nominated ‘Jaybirds’ Trisha Gagnon (Cathy-Anne's sister) and Nick Hornbuckle, lending their amazing musical talents to the project.

The band is focused around Canadian, lead singer Cathy-Anne McClintock and is her vision. It is strongly influenced from her 10 year tenure with her multi award winning Canadian Bluegrass band, Tumbleweed.

Add to that the love for U2, Sting, the Stanley Brothers, Tim O'Brien, Alison Krauss, Larry Sparks Conway Twitty, Trisha Yearwood and the Beatles(to name a few!!) you come up with a great mix of material. Cathy-Anne also has a feature performance in Ed Zwick's film, 'Leaving Normal'.

Strong songs with good lyric content performed by some of the top players in their genres. The vocals of Cathy-Anne along with her original and autobiographical tunes (sometimes!!),great harmonies and acoustic instrumentation definitely lead the direction of the act.
