About Me



..

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 19/10/2005
Band Website: www.kayte.com
Band Members: I am about to embark on a concert tour that was tested last spring at the Palace Theater in Crossville, TN and at the Lee College of Arts Auditorium in Paris, TN. My next "run-through" will be onstage at the Marco National Festival of the Arts on both Saturday and Sunday, February 28th and 29th. The first "large" venue will be the Belle Mehus City Auditorium in Bismarck, ND on April 2nd.My formal press release may soon appear (with luck) on my website, but if you want a copy please email me and I'll send a pdf to you. Due to the tight economy, I will not be accompanied this year by a full orchestra, but by my core band. There has also been a "bump" in my lineup, as Dennis Bryon (of the Bee Gees) cannot tour right now due to a family emergency.A recording/publishing entity has stepped up to the plate to fill the void left by Dennis' absence (they shall go unnamed for now) so I will be bringing an even finer lineup than ever before to the tour. I also will be performing songs by the top writers in Nashville, thanks to this benefactor. Great things are on the horizon! Stay tuned.....
Influences: My latest inspiration is Leslie Mills, whose upcoming album and tour includes songs written by her and her writing partner Chris Pelcer. She will be on the upcoming "Voices" tour with Yanni. Please support her and buy her music---I love her single "Theory Of Everything (Is Nothing Without Love)". It blows Enya off the charts and should FINALLY give Leslie the fame she deserves.
Sounds Like: They (the audience and critics) liken me to Carly Simon and Karen Carpenter and Carole King but I am so humbled by these performers-----I just want to be me.
Record Label: Artfest Records
