COUNTRY/AMERICANA SINGER-SONGWRITER CATHY-ANNE
MCCLINTOCK
CONTINUES MAKING A SPLASH AROUND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
McClintock Will Perform At The Indie Thursday
Showcase Series On December 3
Cathy-Anne McClintock
Emerging country/americana singer-songwriter and recent
Hollywood Music in Media Award Nominee Cathy-Anne
McClintock has been busy making a splash around the
world since the release of her self-titled debut album
earlier this year. Now McClintock is excited to kick-off
December as a part of the Indie Thursday Showcase Series
at the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood, CA on the 3rd.
This unique and intimate event has been creating a buzz
within the artist community of Los Angeles. Show time is
7:30 p.m. and it is free for all ages. Also performing
are Sofia Draco, Petree, Autumn Kramer, Brightmillion
and Steve Cooke.
McClintock was recently named as one of Music Connection
magazine’s Hot 100 Unsigned Bands & Artists of the year
(December 2009 issue).
McClintock’s latest single “Crazy ‘Bout You” recently
received a Hollywood Music in Media Award nomination.
Over the summer, it heated up the Country and Hot AC
charts in Canada and Europe, and was featured as the
Free Track Of The Week on Puretracks Canada.
Oversees, McClintock is heating up the airwaves with her
single “No Matter What”, which is at #23 this week on
the HOT DISC Charts in Europe.
Since moving to Southern California to focus on her solo
career several years ago, she established herself as a
formidable performer with gigs at hotspots like Genghis
Cohen, The Mint, Kulaks, Hallenbecks and various special
events, including Laguna Beach’s Pageant of the Masters,
Sunset Serenade Series, Far West Folk Alliance, Canadian
Music Week and the popular folk series The Living
Tradition. At a particularly memorable gig at the House
of Blues on Sunset, she opened for Canadian Celtic
rockers Great Big Sea for an audience comprised of
fellow Canadians; one of the highlights was Russell
Crowe sitting in and singing a few Johnny Cash tunes
with the band.
McClintock’s emergence as a solo artist is simply the
latest triumph in a career that would make anyone want
to “live like that.” Shortly after the Vancouver born
and raised performer and her older sister Trisha Gagnon
formed their bluegrass band Tumbleweed in the 90s, they
played their first show on a slate in British Columbia
with superstars Dolly Parton and Dwight Yoakam at Music
91, a government sponsored road show designed to boost
tourism.
Tumbleweed enjoyed an incredible ten year run that
included playing major folk and country festivals
throughout Canada, performing in France, Belgium, The
Netherlands and Switzerland, doing private shows for
bigwigs like Rupert Murdoch and playing special
engagements for thousands of schoolchildren. They were
also winners of British Columbia’s Best Country Group,
Best Country CD and nine time winners of B.C.’s Best
Bluegrass Group.
