LOOKING FOR RINGO....
As a singer/songwriter who plays piano and guitar, Kate also features a unique lead instrument -- electric rock violin -- influenced by guitar heroes Stevie Ray Vaughan, Duane Allman and Jimi Hendrix. The recipient of a NEA grant and an alumnus of New England Conservatory of Music, she has toured the US, Europe and Asia in performances alongside Rick Danko and The Band, Gavin DeGraw, The Gin Blossoms, Van Morrison and more, including an appearance on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien.”
2005's release "Home Cookin-Delicious Demos" displays the talented artist on vocals, rock violin, guitar, keyboards and drums along with partner Blake Thompson for catchy, hook-laden songs tinged with blues, rock, pop, punk and even classical influences, featuring soaring melodies, tight harmonies and heartfelt sincerity that shines in every song Kate Russo sings. Vocals have been compared to Janis Joplin, Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morrisette and Pat Benatar (with enthusiastic reviews from Rolling Stone Magazine, The New York Post and others) and are combined with songwriting influences of The Beatles, modern rock with a retro feel to create a sound that is both familiar and distinctive.
Also touring as lead violinist (instead of psychadelic blues rock lead guitar) with Janis Joplin’s original band Big Brother & the Holding Company, Kate has previously toured with Bit O' Jane and The Elliots, and performed w/Sugar Ray, David Crosby, Little Feat, Cake and others. A new solo album "Looking For Ringo" (with Prairie Prince of The Tubes on drums) is due for release is Feb. of 2006, and shows this artist has a sound all her own.
