"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
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 cailin_callahan@hotmail.com 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

thank you very much. No, I have not listened to the you tube songs, but I'll do that sometime today. I literally moved here last Thursday. I've been here like 5-6 times previous to that, and from the moment I came here I felt like I just belonged. You either get New Orleans or you dont. It could be the greatest place on earth or the worse, depending on who you are as a person. If you ever here, be sure to get ahold of me. I'd be glad to show you around.
havent stopped by to say my hellos in quite some time. your music sounds like it has evolved quite a bit. I have a new song up. I just moved to New Orleans and recorded it days before I left. Take a peek and tell what you think.
Cailin I love you and I miss you very much. I'm going to be home for Thanksgiving, so I'm definitely coming to see you. Hope all's well. Love, Katie (and Vita!)
Message me your number again cause my last phone broke and lost all my numbers. We are in N. Myrtle Beach now. I'll call you when you send me your # and fill you in on everything.
May The Sky Open Up and May GOD Shine His Light Down On You Today To Provide Warmth and Comfort, Unconditional Love and Compassion, and May The Beautiful Gift of Creation Shine Bright In Your Existence ;) All Things Are Amazing With GOD's Love Inside Your Soul and Spirit, Peace Always Be With You and Have A Blessed and Beautiful Day, From The Bottom of My Heart To You and The Ones You Love ;) One Love From Up Above.
