| |
| The Boston music scene has spawned so many great artists, it's hard to |
| keep up, from flat-out rockers like Aerosmith and Morphine to thoughtful |
| folkies such as Patty Griffin and Ellis Paul. That's where Catie Curtis |
| comes in. With her instantly recognizable voice and insightful and often |
| humorous lyrics, Curtis has steadily gained a sure footing among her |
| peers. Curtis first garnered attention as she toured the house concert |
| and coffeehouse circuit (circa the early '90s) to support her |
| independently released disc, From Years to Hours, which followed the |
| cassette-only release of Dandelion in 1989. Her young sound had echoes |
| of Rickie Lee Jones and her songwriting revealed an innocent yet |
| heartfelt poetry that would only get deeper and richer with more life |
| experience. Hear Music took note and put out Truth from Lies in 1995. |
| That offering got Curtis noticed over at EMI/Guardian, who, |
| consequently, re-released the disc in 1996 and its successor, Catie |
| Curtis in 1997. These albums showcased the evolution of the artist and |
| songwriter, as she moved slowly away from her raw folk roots to a |
| slightly more pop sound. The song "Soulfully," from Catie Curtis, was |
| warmly embraced, and found its way to both radio and television with |
| exposure on Dawson's Creek and Chicago Hope. |
| |
| Curtis continued to build a fan base through extensive touring, even |
| hopping on legs of the Lilith Fair tour. When her label closed its |
| doors, she found another home at Rykodisc and sent A Crash Course in |
| Roses into the world in 1999. This offering centered around the haunting |
| theme of the impact of sudden events on life. After touring with Dar |
| Williams for a spell, Curtis was inspired for the next project. So, for |
| her 2001 effort, My Shirt Looks Good on You, she took a more |
| collaborative approach to the songwriting and teamed up with a number of |
| Boston's finest songwriters, including Billy Conway and Mary Gauthier. |
| She also teamed up with hotshot producer/engineer Trina Shoemaker to |
| redefine her sound while making the record. The result was another |
| surefooted step forward for Curtis and a harbinger of more great things |
| to come. Dreaming in Romance Languages, Curtis' first for Vanguard, |
| appeared in 2004. Long Night Moon, much of which reflected on her life |
| as the new mother of two adopted little girls, arrived in 2006, followed |
| by the aptly titled Sweet Life in 2008. |
