kal cahoone was raised in colorado and studied piano as a young child.
she was raised by a single mother who had a passion for folk music (bruce
cochburn, judy collins, gordon lightfoot, leonard cohen, tim buckley)
and
never imagined that one day she would also be a fan.
A friend and fan to members and wives of local bands like the denver
gentlemen and 16 horsepower (now woven hand) in her early 20's she was
inspired to create but wanted out of denver and the states.
In 1996 she received a degree in spanish and creative writing (always
interested in poetry) and ended up in valparaiso chile, where she spent
6
months living on a hill in total solitude with nothing but a typewriter
and
a nice view.
Later in Buenos Aires she met a composer named christian basso and they
immediately began writing together and eventually married.
This was her first experience co-writing songs at the age of 26, and
she
took up accordion, which was easier to travel with than a piano.
Some years later she returned to Denver and formed band Tarantella with
John
Rumley (Slim Cessna's Auto Club and Hush) where they also shared a
meaningful co-writing situation. Since 2000, kal has recorded with
Lilium,
and has also appeared doing back-up vocals for locals Munly and Roger
Green.
This is her first attempt at making her own cd which is still in the
works.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
