Cathy Worthley

About Me

As the mc introduces her the 5’10” dirty blonde dressed in a low cut top, snug jeans and tall boots walks out on stage with a road worn Martin guitar. The lights bathe her long legs in amber. Silver bangle bracelets tinkle as she gives a shy wave to the audience which goes quiet as they sense something is different. “It’s ok” she says with a smirk, “ I’m used to questions so I'll get the biggest one out of the way first.” She pauses and then says with a smile, “ Yes, I am a Unitarian.” ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ .................................... Cathy Worthley toured extensivly in the US and briefly in the UK . For twenty years she was a festival favorite throughout the US, interviewed by the BBC and was even featured in Snowboarder Magazine playing bagpipes astride a snowboard. On a return flight from London just before the events of 9/11 a chain of events began which put her into semi-retirement and an odd string of jobs just to survive . Plagued with suicidal depression she disappeared from the music scene which had not only been her life breath but her living. . ............................................................ ............................................................ ..................... On Valentines Day 2008 Cathy walked out on stage to a small but receptive audience for the first appearance of her comeback. She belted out songs she wrote in a familiar but now somewhat different voice backed by her trademark guitar style throbbing and weaving with alternating bass and unstoppable rhythm. Cathy is a new face with a time proven musical soul. Her life has allways been seemly controled by some demented muse with a twisted sence of humor. This latest turn of that muse has been a blessed thing. She is at the top of her art and it's good to have her back,
