Kate Voegele


I discovered Kate Voegele when she first appeared on the show, One Tree Hill. She played a musician in a band that was lead by Kevin Federline, and he played a jerk who ended up walking out of the studio and quitting the band. Well long story short, two of the characters on the show (who owned a record label) realized that Kate's character was the one with the talent. Since that first episode she appeared in, Kate has become a regular on the show and has performed quite a few songs on many episodes. I immediately loved the sound of her voice and I loved the lyrics in her songs. Her music was discovered by MySpace Records when she debuted her first CD, "Don't Look Away." She released her second CD, "A Fine Mess" in May 2009. Soon after becoming a fan of hers, I found out that my Uncle Ed actually helped Kate get her first big gig when she played at the IC Light Amphitheater opening for some big act (I can't remember who). I went to see her a few years ago when she played at the TLA in Philly and actually got a chance to meet her briefly and she actually remembered my uncle, which was pretty cool. As many of the artists I'm into these days, she sounds exactly the same live as she does on her CD's. I really enjoy the lyrics to her music, because I feel like I can relate to almost every song. I've actually gotten through some hard times with a past relationship thanks to many of her songs. If you look on my iTunes, you'll see that some of her songs have been played more than most. Unlike many popular artists out there, she also plays her own instruments. As always, I've included a link to her official website and a few videos of her performing live.
