Hailed as the “Folk Rock Goddess” by The New Yorker, Catie Curtis readies her fifteenth album While We’re Here available February 3rd, followed by “The Final Outing” tour – one last road trip across the USA and beyond in 2017 in support of the release.
While We’re Here was recorded live in the studio with Julie Wolf (Ani DiFranco, Bruce Cockburn) on piano, Jon Evans (Sarah McLachlin, Tori Amos) on bass and drummer Matthew Bossi in Jamaica Plain, MA with additional support for Jimmy Ryan (mandolin), Duke Levine (guitar), Jefferson Hammer (guitar), Jaime Edwards (keys), Elana Arian (fiddle) and singers Ben Demerath and Rose Polenzani to round out the sound.
The album speaks in a familiar, frank and reassuring voice about life events everyone encounters: love, loss, and the search for redemption. While We’re Here rides the wave of tumultuous life transitions (divorce, death and falling in love) with clear-eyed courage and soulfulness. As the title cut says “we could all die tomorrow, I’m not gonna live in fear, don’t ever stop giving living a shot, while we’re here.”
The Final Outing Tour begins with several benefit shows to support Americans United For Separation of Church and State – a cause that Catie will continue to support.
