Influences
Local musicians, to an almost embarrassing degree.
Too many years spent playing bluegrass. (myspace.com/feedandseed)
A sufficient number of years spent playing pirate music. (myspace.com/piratesrus)
Some non-local songwriters and bands I think about a lot: Andrew Bird, Jason Webley, Fiona Apple, The Dresden Dolls, CocoRosie, The Books, Mirah, The Blow, Deerhoof.

"After all the years in this town, with all the bands that she has been involved with, with all her unbridled talent careening off the walls around us, [Kat Bula] has finally made a solo record. And it is a great one. Her wit, humor, and story telling are impeccable." -- James Hardesty, proprietor, Green Frog Café Acoustic Tavern
"One of the more resourceful and versatile musicians in town... at long last showcasing her material on her own terms...." -- What's Up! Magazine
"Tireless advocate for the music community as well as a fine musician in her own right.... It's well worth the price of admission... to show some support for someone who supports just about everyone else—and knows her way around both a fiddle and an accordion to boot." -- Cascadia Weekly
"Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to help someone download Bible software when I've got you singing in my head about fallopian tubes and shagging?" -- Beckie
Can't wait to see you all again. It was great having you in our little shop, in our quiet little village. And glad i could give everyone somewhere a little less cramped to sleep : )
Kat! Caroline here! It is so good to hear from you, I'm so glad you found us on MySpace! I too am sorry we missed you at the Green Frog, but hopefully we'll be back in Bellingham soon! How odd that you had a dream about me eh? It has been years since we have actually seen each other. I hope you are doing well and enjoying life, and your band :) Lets keep in touch, and we'll let you know when we're back in B-ham! xoxo Caroline
i never realized i could put annoying animated images on people's profiles without even having to leave myspace!! THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!
also i am coming to see you on the first. then maybe i can finally get a copy of your musics and run home and do a bunch of dishes so i can use the kitchen cd player!! i'm going to start making some dirty dishes now, just so i'm sure to have enough--
I request music. perhaps the Wedding Dad song. although I know it must have a better name or at least reference terminology than that! or Red Riding Hood. I maintain that that one is pretty hot.
