The Ark: Catie Curtis
A highly regarded young singer-songwriter from Maine, who lived in Ann Arbor for a few years in the early 90s, Curtis writes engaging, down-to-earth songs about the pleasures and tragedies of ordinary life. She’s also known for her expansive, soaring vocals, her percussive guitar style, and her musical blend of folk, blues, and pop. “Any fool can write a love-gone- wrong song; it takes a real genius to write a love-gone-right one. No urban songwriter does that better than Curtis,” says Boston Globe critic Scott Alarik in his review of Curtis’s 2007 CD Long Night Moon. “She sings grippingly about love’s better moments: tracing the shadows on a lover’s face, and the sweet delights of staying warm on a cold day.” Curtis has a brand-new CD, Sweet Life. $20.
