Catie Curtis delivers her most personal effort to date with Long Night Moon, an intricate work of stripped down modern folk. With grace and confidence, a more mature Curtis mingles reflections on motherhood (“New Flowers”), cold New England winters (“Hey California”) and delayed gratification (“Long Night Moon,” a song written about waiting for the belated arrival of her adopted baby daughter) with the unflinching dedication to social issues that has long characterized her strongest work.
Curtis, a hardworking troubadour, has headlined clubs and theaters throughout the United States since the mid-90s. She has also shared the bill with artists such as Dar Williams and Richard Thompson and toured in Europe with Mary Chapin Carpenter. Catie’s grassroots fan base has grown by word of mouth over the years based on the strength of her recordings and live shows. A supporter of social causes, Curtis has played concerts benefiting organizations such as Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall Gang Camp (for children with life-threatening illnesses), Women of Means (medical care for homeless women), the Montessori School Diversity Initiative, and many others.
Her songs have appeared in television shows as diverse as Grey’s Anatomy, Dawson’s Creek, Felicity, and Alias, and films such as 500 Miles to Graceland and A Slipping Down Life. Curtis currently lives in Boston with her partner and their two daughters. For more on Catie Curtis, visit her website at catiecurtis.com.
