Once in every while an artist comes around that is seemingly as fresh, bright, and delicious as an apple picked right off the tree. Void of any obvious imperfection, unmarred by worm holes or lack of sunlight, the apple materializes with such beauty and vitality that one cannot suppress the urge to taste.
This apple is Kat Jones taste, you must.
Kat is a singer/songwriter from Fresno, California. A strikingly soulful voice coupled with a talent for writing songs with aesthetic maturity both musically and lyrically, suggest years far beyond her own, and explains why her career thus far has yielded much merited attention.
"I'd wanted to be a musician since I can remember but never thought it was possible," remarks Kat when asked about her start as a musician. "I decided my only hope was to become something like a manager or producer." Time would tell a different story for the burgeoning artist.
In 1996, while interning under Peter Wolf at Wolf Sound Audio Engineering in Fresno, Kat began to explore her musical giftedness and passion. She sat in on every bands recording sessions, took singing and guitar lessons, and within the year, had performed for the first time in front of an audience of 500. Now, 8 years, 2 nationwide tours, one EP, and several demos later, Kat has released her first full length record, La Rosa, La Calavera.
The album, which is Spanish for the rose, the skull, centers on concepts of life and death and showcases Kats intricate blend of indie rock, folk, and americana adding to it an alt. country appeal. Distinct and creative instrumentation exists not only in and of itself as an artistic expression, but to offset and highlight the artists captivating and deeply powerful vocals. The result is nine tracks of haunting infusions that will stir your soul.
"I want the album to make people think. I hope they can relate to it and that it ends up being more than just another recordbut becomes a part of their lives."
There is no sin in partaking of this apple. So go ahead give in. Kat Joness album is available now on Velvet Blue Music.
