The vivid songwriting of Catie Curtis combines insightful lyrics with soulful strumming and energy. Much of her music entails emotional narratives that the audience can relate to. She has written about domestic violence, corporate greed, religion, homelessness, peace, and sexuality issues. Unlike artists whose careers are generated by one hit song, Curtis has garnered a fan base through word of mouth, without music industry hype. This unusual and flourishing indie career is being documented this year in a film by Rob Millis. (A trailer can be seen at www.symphonyofchaos.com).

Catie's studio work, engaging live shows and impressive touring career in the US and Europe earn rave reviews and wide recognition. Her songs have been featured on Dawson's Creek, Felicity, Alias, Chicago Hope, and Grey's Anatomy, as well as in several independent films. She's toured with Dar Williams, Mary Chapin Carpenter and as part of Lilith Fair. This commitment to touring has resulted in a devoted, grassroots fan base. These days, Curtis is on the road playing 100 shows a year, both solo and with her band.

In March of 2006, Catie was named grand prize winner of the International Songwriting Competition, for her song "People Look Around", co-written with Mark Erelli. The judges, (including Tom Waits, Loretta Lynn, Macy Gray, and Sonny Rollins) chose the winner from a field of 15,000 entries from 82 countries.
