Katie Garibaldi, Steven Andrew Kacsmar, and Deborah Crooks form the SF Songsalive! team.
Katie Garibaldi has achieved so much in her young career. At the age of 25, she has released six albums, as well as other recordings, constantly tours the country promoting her music and performing, and runs her own record label—Living Dream Music. Her latest album, Next Ride Out, is altogether vibrant and rich with lively performances, from strong country-esque tunes to upbeat catchy pop treasures, to moving ballads. Michael Molenda, a noted producer and editor-in-chief of Guitar Player magazine, produced the album at Tiki Town Studios in Mill Valley, California. Gilli Moon of Songsalive! said “Next Ride Out is a CD to be heard!...It’s like a dichotomy of edge and angel, with Katie’s voice so angelic against the quirkiness of the music...Next Ride Out is a strong album that combines the classic Country and Americana sounds, with contemporary rock edginess that lifts you high, and a folk quietness that calms the soul with Katie’s voice." www.katiegaribaldi.com
Steven Andrew Kacsmar is an engaging singer/songwriter whose music is an intriguing mix of folk, acoustic rock, and the blues. His music resonates with the influence of a wide range of genres. His lyrics express both raw emotion and unquenchable idealism. Steven also writes poetry and short stories, performs with his band Phantom City as well as various San Francisco samba groups, plays jazz trombone, and is involved in radio theatre and has a recording and production studio. www.stevenandrewkacsmar.com
Deborah Crooks is a writer, singer/songwriter and arts activist whose work is informed by a dedication to the process of liberation. A penchant for finding answers to life?s big questions has sent the California native around the globe to study different cultures, yoga and Buddhism--experiences that inform her work. Exploring themes of identity, love and faith, each of her songs demonstrates a careful attention to lyric honed by a lifetime of writing while her vocal delivery spans a wide emotional range. Her songs have been included on several compilations in recent years as well as receiving regular airplay. She's released the well regarded full length CD "Adding Water to the Ashes" in 2008. www.deborahcrooks.com
