KATHY PHILLIPS:What makes a performer special? The ability to empathize through a well-turned lyric, the talent for writing an effective hook, a connection with an audience projected from the stage, and a sense of purpose and passion in an artists' music are all qualities possessed by those who are able to make the transition from musician to performer. ************************************************************ ** Kathy Phillips has shown that possessing all of these qualities is endearing to fans and critics alike. Her debut album, SWAY (Black Potatoe Records), released in late 2001, was recognized by Courier News/Gannett Newspapers with nods for NJ's Best Female Artist and Best Song for her smooth, polished sound, a graceful connection between rock, pop and folk. ************************************************************ ** CARRIES YOU AWAY, the latest CD, produced by Matt Angus, is a collection of 11 roots-driven songs, with expressive lyrics, strong melodies, gorgeous harmonies and excellent musicianship. ************************************************************ ** "The sophomore release from Kathy Phillips ... showcases a confident talent with a strong, emotive voice who can really craft her songs." Chris Nickson Allmusic.com ************************************************************ ** The band includes: Kim Williams, Walt Bibinger, Todd Lanka, Tom Nelson, Barry Mitterhoff (Hot Tuna-Jorma), Anthony Krizan (Spin Doctors, Lenny Kravitz), Travis Wetzel and Nashville pedal steel legend Robby Turner (Waylon Jennings/Highwaymen). ************************************************************ ** Kathy has opened for/shared bill with national acts such as: Hootie & the Blowfish, Styx, Andy Summers (Police), Levon Helm, Dickey Betts, Catie Curtis, Chris Barron (Spin Doctors), Michael Glabicki (Rusted Root), Jeffrey Gaines, Shannon McNally, Pinetop Perkins, Stray Cats' Lee Rocker, and most recently GRACE POTTER& the NOCTURNALS.************************************************* ************* Look for ads in No Depression, Harp, Paste and Performing Songwriter magazines
