My Lover's Gone and Left Me
The high energy vocal performance of 21 year old singer/songwriter Caitlyn Smith proves to be an experience one will not soon forget. With an irresistible smile, bright eyes, and lyrics that speak far beyond her years, Smith reaches a wide spectrum of listeners and invites them to experience her music in a real and personal way. The lyrical and musical maturity of this young artist is only a foreshadowing to the future and success of her music career.
Smith's first independent record, Learning to Be, released in 2001 when she was just 15 years old. Soon after releasing this record, Smith started working on her sophomore album, Silence; which released in 2003. While both Learning to Be and Silence show off Caitlyns pop/rock style, her third album, (produced by Matt Patrick and Don Chaffer) reaches deeper for a more earthy, organic vibe. The new record, Face Over Heels, was released April 2007 and is available on iTunes or online at www.cdbaby.com.

thanks for adding me, Caitlyn! Awesome voice & cool profile. Love your arrangement of the tears for fears cover! It's a pleasure to meet you. Here's a present for you. This is a free sneak preview of one song from the new album "Cycle Of Life" - Jeff Stetson. This is called "Memories Of The Past" and features Jeff Stetson on vocals, guitars and composer; Max Vasquez(me) producer/arranger, background vocals; Bob Helm, mountain fiddle, and the great Amanda Abizaid(Spielberg's The 4400), background vocals. For the last few years I've been working on my friend Jeff's new CD, in order to help him get the money for medicine he really needs to combat the Crohns Disease which kept him from becoming the successful legend he deserves to be. He was actually doing well until the former regime cut his medical benefits. We made this with no corporate interference! Recorded in my humble little studio in L.A.. Hope I can make a fan out of you! Keep in touch, my beautiful new friend. Enjoy!
Hi Caitlyn! I sampled your music a bit and really like it! "It was You" is an amazing song! I hope the Twin Cities music scene is treating you well and that you enjoy the new music on my page. Take care. JDW
