About Me

Let me begin by saying my name is pronounced "KAY-LEAN". I've been playing guitar since I was 17 and started singing shortly thereafter. I picked up a guitar because I was tired of not being able to join in on the jam sessions that were surrounding me. Eric Metz told me I could sing, so I sang. Sven Peltonen told me I could write, so I wrote. And that's how it all began! I just released my first album, "Next Time" that I did with the help of producer/musical-genius Lance Doss. If you want to buy a cd you can pick one up at a show for $10, email me at [email protected] saying that you want one and then stick a check in the mail for $11 and I'll mail one to you, you can buy it off of CDBaby.com or digitally off of digstation.com/cailincallahan!! Support the arts! Now hopefully this whole "being a musician" thing works out for me! I have great friends and a fabulous family. Life's good. mmm and check out my blog "nose walkin & trash talking: tidbits of a mad rambler" @ cailincallahan.blogspot.com

Sounds Like: "Local singer-songwriter Cailin (pronounced Kay-Lean) Callahan sounds a little like Tracy Chapman with a touch of Jewel and a sprinkling of Ani DiFranco. Although she didn’t pick up a guitar until she was 17, Callahan has a soulful style that complements her smoky voice..... The surfer girl performs her thoughtful material with local percussionist Sven Peltonen and multi-instrumentalist Lance Doss." --AC Weekly, Vol.35 Issue 12.

"Real smooth and mellow. Like a good glass of scotch." --jeNell of jeNell and the Yets
