CATHY-ANNE MCCLINTOCK

SET TO MAKE A SPLASH AROUND SOUTHERN

CALIFORNIA IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER

***

McClintock Will Perform At The FAR-West Conference

On November 6 & 7, Kulak’s Woodshed On

November 13 And The Indie Thursday Showcase

Series On December 3

Emerging country/americana singer-songwriter and recent Hollywood Music in Media Award Nominee Cathy-Anne McClintock has been busy making a splash around the world since the release of her self-titled debut album earlier this year. Now McClintock is excited to hit the SoCal music scene with performances in November and December.

On November 6 and 7, McClintock will join in the celebration of folk and acoustic music at the FAR-West Conference at the Hyatt Regency in Irvine, CA. She will perform Guerilla Shows in the Folk Collection Room on November 6 at 4:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., then again at 4 p.m. on November 7.

McClintock will also perform at the Premiere Showcase in the Golden Bear Room on November 7. The showcase begins at 6:45 p.m. with McClintock taking the stage at 8:45 p.m. Also performing are Mick Overman, Jill Knight, Bill & Kate Isles, Maggie McKaig & Luke Wilson, Hat Check Girl and Molly’s Revenge.

FAR-West is a welcoming place where artists in all stages of their careers connect with each other, as well as with concert programmers, house concert hosts, small venue owners, radio programmers and others in the business of promoting folk and acoustic music.

On November 13, McClintock will perform at Kulak’s Woodshed in North Hollywood, CA, presented by McJames Music, Inc and hosted by Steven McClintock. Natalie Closner and Stephen Petree will also perform. The show begins at 8 p.m. and donations are welcome in lieu of cover.

McClintock will kick-off December as a part of the Indie Thursday Showcase Series at the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood, CA on the 3rd. This unique and intimate event has been creating a buzz within the artist community of Los Angeles. Show time is 7:30 p.m. and it is free for all ages. Also performing are Sofia Draco, Petree, Autumn Kramer, Brightmillion and Steve Cooke.

McClintock’s latest single “Crazy ‘Bout You” recently received a Hollywood Music in Media Award nomination. Over the summer, it heated up the Country and Hot AC charts in Canada and Europe, and was featured as the Free Track Of The Week on Puretracks Canada. Puretracks powers the digital music store for Billboard, MusicMuch and others. McClintock will find out if she wins the award when the Hollywood Music in Media Awards take place on Thursday, November 19 at The Highlands located in the world-famous Hollywood & Highlands / Kodak Theater complex in Hollywood, CA.

Since moving to Southern California to focus on her solo career several years ago, she established herself as a formidable performer with gigs at hotspots like Genghis Cohen, The Mint, Kulaks, Hallenbecks and various special events, including Laguna Beach’s Pageant of the Masters, Sunset Serenade Series, Far West Folk Alliance, Canadian Music Week and the popular folk series The Living Tradition.  At a particularly memorable gig at the House of Blues on Sunset, she opened for Canadian Celtic rockers Great Big Sea for an audience comprised of fellow Canadians; one of the highlights was Russell Crowe sitting in and singing a few Johnny Cash tunes with the band.

McClintock’s emergence as a solo artist is simply the latest triumph in a career that would make anyone want to “live like that.” Shortly after the Vancouver born and raised performer and her older sister Trisha Gagnon formed their bluegrass band Tumbleweed in the 90s, they played their first show on a slate in British Columbia with superstars Dolly Parton and Dwight Yoakam at Music 91, a government sponsored road show designed to boost tourism.

Tumbleweed enjoyed an incredible ten year run that included playing major folk and country festivals throughout Canada, performing in France, Belgium, The Netherlands and Switzerland, doing private shows for bigwigs like Rupert Murdoch and playing special engagements for thousands of schoolchildren. They were also winners of British Columbia’s Best Country Group, Best Country CD and nine time winners of B.C.’s Best Bluegrass Group.
