Catie Curtis with special guest Jenna Lindbo June 7, 2014 8 pm When the singer/songwriter movement boomed in the mid-90s, Catie Curtis was at its forefront. Now a veteran artist with a 15 year career, Curtis has recorded ten critically acclaimed solo albums and has had songs featured in numerous TV shows including Dawson’s Creek, Felicity, Grey’s Anatomy and Alias, as well as in films such as 500 Miles to Graceland and A Slipping Down Life.
On the album, Curtis, a Lilith Fair alum who’s been dubbed a “folk-rock goddess” by The New Yorker, delivers some of the finest material of her career: ten original songs that push at her own musical boundaries and explore “the difficult edges of passing events” in life, harsh realities that are tempered with moments of fleeting beauty. That vibe is spirited, unique, and best embodied by the album’s title track. “Stretch Limousine on Fire” is an infectious song whose central image takes on the idea that “when bad things happen, you sometimes take comfort in realizing they happen to everybody.” It’s this portrayal of universal life experiences, wrapped in Curtis’ brand of evocative songwriting that won her the 2006 International Songwriting Competition, that appeals to her legions of dedicated fans. With her Aspire to Inspire Endowment providing musical instruments to seven youth-oriented music organizations, a busy schedule officiating nontraditional weddings, and the fulltime job of raising two daughters with her partner, Catie Curtis is stretching her own boundaries to ensure that, despite the rough edges in life, there will always be those moments of beauty. Opening
the evening will Jenna Lindbo. One part wise old woman and one
part goofy little kid, singer-songwriter Jenna Lindbo is going to find a way to
your heart. It’s only a matter of time. An Oregon native, Jenna travels the
country, inspiring audiences from Asheville to Anchorage with her rootsy folk
songs and infectious joy. Along the way she keeps meeting folks who love to hear
her music, soak up the effervescent energy of her shows, and get smacked upside
the heart.

Folk Music to the White House. She’s also spent that time writing and testing

serve as the heart of her eleventh record, Stretch Limousine on Fire (Compass
Records).
