Catherine Campbell: Outline

Chattanooga, TN based folk singer Catherine Campbell is not very prolific, but once she is happy about a song she wrote, it is well worth the wait. The tracks on her Outline EP came together bit by bit, with Too Late from 2023 as the stand-out track, beating her latest single Long Hair with a nose-length.

Her search for a significant other, preferably one who ticks all the boxes, has been an uphill battle so far, so it is no wonder that she decided to include a cover of the Beach Boys classic In My Room as both a source of inspiration and comfort.

HCTF premiere - Catherine Campbell: Long Hair

Chattanooga, TN based folk singer Catherine Campbell offers a warning about possibly going for the wrong guy on her new single Long Hair. It is kinda cool he rides a bike and all that, but is it enough and does it match what she is actually looking for? Kudos for bass player J. Tom Hnatow for adding a solid yet swinging foundation. It is a track from her new EP Outline.

HCTF premiere - Catherine Campbell: Too Late

Chattanooga, TN based folk singer Catherine Campbell is pointing to the light at the end of the tunnel with her new single Too Late, a deceptive title since she is actually sings "it's not too late" over and over again, as some kind of mantra. Pushed gently forward by a percolating guitar motif that gets stuck in the listener's head pretty much instantly, she sounds like a soft-spoken indie version of Suzanne Vega.

Catherine Campbell: "Disappear" b/w "Leave No Trace"

Chattanooga, TN based folk singer Catherine Campbell tackles the longing for getting away from the bad stuff - or even being invisible for future generations - on her new double A-side single. Both Disappear and Leave No Trace are fragile songs, needing undivided attention in order to fully appreciate the musical and lyrical intricacies.

The tracks are released by her hometown pub, the Cherry Street Tavern, as the first of their Cherry Street Tavern's Artist Series. Digital and CD for now - a 7" will follow in the near future.

HCTF premiere - Catherine Campbell: Wild and Free

Soft-spoken folk singer Catherine Campbell sings about a no-strings attached life on her new single Wild and Free, a track from her forthcoming EP Leave No Trace. Wrapped in a blanket of old school keyboards and pushed forward by a funky bass, she makes a case for going your own way, knowing fully well that is a dream that will never fully come true, because life has the nasty habit of getting in the way.

The Leave No Trace EP will be released on March 25.
