About Me

Breaking free of traditional pop song structures, lyrical themes and rock arrangements, Catherine McGowan offers a fresh take on acoustic-indie-rock music which comments on culture, gender, love and other assorted emotions. The sound is light and beautiful at times, fused with melancholy and darkness in response to the world and it's lack of culture. She is recently influenced heavily by the Canadian indie/underground rock scene.Last year was dedicated to getting her musical performative feet wet in the world of New Jersey rock. Shows were always highlighted by McGowan's ability to make each performance memorable--this achieved by her knack for creating situations warranting inside jokes shared between her and the audience. After several months of trial and error, McGowan sets out to reveal a newer side of her emotions and share them with audiences. She is currently working on writing new songs and recording them. 2006 shall bring a new sound and new recordings. Stay tuned, and be patient!Much love. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------- Check out these amazing artists I'm most in love with: www.bgroove.com, www.teganandsara.com, www.vivekshraya.com, www.raisedbyswans.com, www.themikeclark.com. make
