What makes a performer special? the ability to empathize through a well-turned lyric, the talent for writing an effective hook, a connection with an audience projected from the stage, and a sense of purpose and passion in an artists' music are all qualities possessed by those who are able to make the transition from musician to performer. Kathy Phillips has shown that possessing all of these qualities is endearing to fans and critics alike. Her debut album, "Sway" (Black Potatoe Records), was recognized by Courier News/Gannett Newspapers with nods for NJ's Best Female Artist and Best Song (Leaves Changing) for her smooth, polished sound, a graceful connection between rock, folk and pop. Several tracks off the CD were used in MTV's popular series MADE. The latest CD, "Carries You Away," is a collection of 11 roots-driven songs, with expressive lyrics, strong melodies, beautiful harmonies and excellent musicianship. Produced by label head and label mate Matt Angus, this new release promises to connect with current fans and at the same time reach out to new audiences with an honesty that is refreshing and welcomed today.
