Kathy comes from a small country town in NSW and is one of 12 children. She has always been surrounded by country music, as a child at home her mother played the piano, acoustic guitar and lap steel. Kathy learnt to play the classical guitar, recorder and to read music in primary school. Kathy is married to Kelvin (also a musician) and has 2 children.

Kathy’s teenage years and adult life have been full of country music performances all over NSW, firstly as part of a band called Rawhide and more recently as part of a duo called Double Deal. She also performs as a solo artist showcasing the songs from her debut album Waitin’ On A Good Man.

Kathy attended a song-writing workshop in Tamworth in 2006 where Allan Caswell was the tutor, and it was this that inspired her to start to write her own songs. Kathy entered one of her songs, One Piece At A Time in the National Country Song writing Competition in Tamworth in 2009 and was a top 5 finalist. This spurred her on to record an album of all original material, which was completed in September 2009 with a release date of 22nd November. Kathy also attended the “Jaws 2009” master class with Renee Grant-Williams, Karin Paparelli, Bill DiLuigi & Gary Tally from Nashville which covered voice, guitar and song writing.

Kathy’s album Waitin’ On A Good Man contains 12 beautiful country songs about life, love and emotions that we all go through. The first single from the album Little Piece Of Heaven was released to radio on NfS 137 in December 09. This song also made it through to the Finals (top 5) of the National Song writing Competition in Tamworth 2010 and a video clip of the song was released to the Country Music Channel in April 2010.

The album was recorded at Longhorn Studios at Kurri and was produced by Rob Wilson. All of the musicians that contributed to the album are well respected in the Country Music industry being; Michel Rose, Brad Bergen, Mick Albeck, Greg Franks, Karen O’Shea and Rob Wilson.

Kathy originally recorded this album for herself, as this was something personal she wanted to do and she didn’t care if she didn’t sell one copy because the number one reason you play music for is the love of it, not the money. It just so happens that the album has turned out absolutely beautiful and she wants to share it with people out there that love true country music and songs that touch the heart, the kind of songs that make you cry and the ones that make you smile.

Being able to connect with people through music is a beautiful thing and Kathy hopes that her songs will reach out and touch the hearts of many country music loving people.
