Cate Rich

2014.  Working on New Music. Have previously released "Epiphany" an EP Album, featuring songs "I Realize", "Maybe Then", and "In and Out". Cate collaborated with Brendan McDonnell and recorded the album at Nightwing Productions, and Stuart Epps, a British record producer and audio engineer who has worked with: Kiki Dee, Elton John, Led Zeppelin, Oasis, Twisted Sister and Chris Rea. This album mixes classic rock elements with a shimmery contemporary sound. I Realize describes someone who has an epiphany that his/her life has fallen apart because there is something broken inside of him or her that causes him or her to make the decisions that leave him or her with nothing but heartbreak and in the red. Maybe Then has the theme of someone who, due to their self image tainted by a lack of love and acceptance has fallen into self destructive patterns and who might have a real chance at a great life but for the sadness and emptiness that has led this person astray. This song turns somewhere in the middle to a borderline acceptance and possible reinvention of this haunted soul and maybe even the formation of self love. In and Out focuses on the love relationship that is consistently categorized by fighting and withdrawing one day and loving and tenderness the next and the weariness that she feels knowing that they are in a pattern that is destructing their relationship and draining them. "Life experience and observing others' lives, pains, struggles, ups, downs and just their existance is a constant source of inspiration to communicate to the world through music" -- Cate Rich
