Catherine “Cat� Beach
1973 - An eventful year indeed, it brought us Watergate, Roe VS. Wade, the World Trade Towers - and one very gifted, future entertainer - Catherine Staples Beach. Born in Evaston, IL, into a musical family, Cat Beach spent most of her formative years in Charlottesville, VA.
As a young adult Cat was accepted at the exclusive Boston University School for the Arts, where she majored in classical drama. Her grand showbiz aspirations…were making it big on Broadway. However, over the years she realized her true passion and unyielding desire was to make music - music that resonates deeply into the crevices of ones soul. Playing her guitar, writing penetrating lyrics and performing for her growing legion of fans proved to be a golden path that she could no longer ignore.
In 2009 Cat headed to Los Angeles to record her first album. She teamed up with some of music industry’s finest top musicians: Lee Sklar, Dean Parks, Herman Matthews and Ned Albright. Together they created true art, a beautiful moving and tremendously honest album called “Love Me Out Loud.� The spirit of the album has been described as “warm and strong.� Her lyrics carry a personal message of her “struggles and her surrender.� And like any true great artist, her music evokes a classic soulfulness that transcends genre and generation.
Cat’s influences are some of music’s legends and icons: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Barbara Streisand.
She is a mentor for children – with a passion to share knowledge and help those who would not otherwise have the opportunity. She has an unwavering love for her best friend for almost two decades, her dog Mr. Bugsy Malone.
At the end of the day, she’s just a girl with her guitar, writing lyrics from inspiration, and creating beautiful melodies.
May 2009 marked the release date of Cat Beach’s debut album, entitled “Love Me Out Loud.� Its penetratingly honest ballads, and classic rhythms can only be described as magical and authentic.
Cat has been known to say 'Love Me Out Loud" isn’t for ME it's for all of YOU.
