"Get ready for Kathleen Blackwell--unequivocally L.A.'s next piano playing Rock Diva."
--Gilli Moon of Warrior Girl Music
Texan-born Recording Artist, Songwriter, and Fashion Designer (Yes, she has her own clothes line!), Kathleen Blackwell announces the release of her debut album, entitled, "TO BE HUMAN," now available on iTunes, CDBaby.com and all good online e-tailers, plus at her official website www.kathleenblackwell.com. To celebrate the release of the album, as well as the nomination of her single "Misbehavin'" in the "Triple A" category of The Hollywood Music In Media Awards and nomination of her album, "To Be Human," for "Album Of The Year" in "Triple A" format for the LA Music Awards, Kathleen will be performing with her full band at key performances in Los Angeles throughout October and November.
Kathleen Blackwell's full-length album, "TO BE HUMAN," is produced by L.A's celebrated music producer, Ronan Chris Murphy (King Crimson, Terry Bozzio, Steve Stevens, Tony Levin, as well as many projects featuring members of Tool, Ministry, Weezer, Dishwalla and Yes). The tightly produced CD is filled with hit material and radio friendly sounds, traversing the landscape of human emotion, from soft and love-struck, to joy, play, struggle, sorrow, anger and…hope. Its high energy delicious Rock, and leaves you gasping for more. Featuring Kathleen Blackwell on Vocals and Piano (she’s classically trained!) the CD is a wall of sound, showcasing her highly energetic band—Victor Bisetti (Los Lobos) on Drums, Jay Terrien (All The Dolls In The Same Place) on Bass, Rodrigo Dennis (Film Composition; Jazz) on Guitar and Nick Lane (Chicago, Tom Petty, Rod Stewart) on trombone.
The album is dynamic, catchy and pure rock 'n roll, just like Kathleen herself, who is unequivocally L.A's next piano playing Rock Diva…
Kathleen's influences range from Kate Bush to Tori Amos (because she equally likes to tinkle the ivories), as well as U2, Radiohead, Lenny Kravitz and Coldplay; plus Duffy to Urge Overkill, Bob Mould to Sugar—from punk rock to hard rock, Beethoven to Debussy—and many others in between...and on the edge—Kathleen is as eclectic in her pop/rock/punk/classical overtones, mixed with a voice like a siren. Stamp all that with her individual dress–style and you've got one power-packed femme fatale.
"I believe the power of our collective conscious resides within our own, authentic and unique voice—finding and defining what makes you—you. The journey of self-discovery leads to improved self-acceptance, which empowers you to walk in truth—your truth. When your truth shines—our world has hope."
"Songwriting has carried me on a beautiful journey of combining my passion for music, my intrinsic curiosity about human nature and my desire to bridge communication gaps."
To support the release of the album, "To Be Human," Kathleen has taken L.A by storm, through live performances, Award nominations and personal appearances. This will be followed by a nation-wide U.S tour. Already, her single "Misbehavin'" has been nominated in the "Triple A" format for The Hollywood Music In Media Awards, announced, November 19th; and her "To Be Human" album has been nominated for "Album Of The Year" in "Triple A" format by the LA Music Awards.
Originally from San Antonio, Texas, with an insatiable love for radio and her eyes glued to MTV, Kathleen's solid music passion led her from her classical piano upbringing, her Austin college days, and experiences with Austin City Limits and SXSW Music Festival; to being swept up by the rock n' roll Mecca of Los Angeles, with stints at Sony Music distribution, where she worked with the likes of Korn and Slayer, amongst others, in the marketing world, plus hosted her own radio show, "Silver Signings."
Most recently Kathleen owned an apron design business, called Saucy-Wear, where she manufactured designer aprons for kitchen-wear and shipped to a variety of culinary-based retail stores across the U.S. including Sur La Table and Williams-Sonoma. Not only an incredibly talented singer/songwriter, but Kathleen will soon be announcing the opening of her clothing line, Cougar Rock, which puts her big boot print on the fashion world as a rock n' roll fashionista. Get ready for this savvy Artist in all the creative outlets she touches.
