About
In her 22 years of life, Kat McGivern has learned that life is quite simply a series of stories; stories that teach you about the world, stories that haunt you, and stories that make you fall in love. This passionate singer-songwriter tells these stories through an infectious blend of electronic rock and ethereal vocals.
Recently Kat has completed her second work Alice Lost, a new 5-song collection of gripping, alternative pop rock tracks. The crystalline beauty and emotional force of McGivern's Celtic-tinged vocals, reminiscent of the Cranberries or Beth Orton, is backed with a winning balance of anthemic, guitar-driven production (“Burn it Down”) and lush electronic beats and keys (“Alice Lost”). Of course it would be nothing without McGivern's solid, powerful songwriting. Alice Lost is the story of a young woman's odyssey into the adult world, with all of its realities, illusions, and inevitable heartbreaks, and it reflects Kat's belief in the importance of stories in our lives. The music is both lyrically compelling and musically haunting, with a powerful blend of rock ballads and electronic beats, at once both silky soft and razor-sharp.
Kat McGivern began hitting the Boston-area singer songwriter circuit in 2004 at the young age of 19. In the fall of that year she released her debut album, the self-produced “Armor.” The album created a considerable buzz on Garageband.com, with the track “Buttons and Zippers” becoming a featured Track of the Day and earning awards for Best Female Vocals, Best Guitars, Best Lyrics, Most Original, Best Melody, and Best Bitter Break-Up Song. A steady performing schedule coupled with aggressive Internet promotion through sites like Garageband and and MySpace have already earned this relative newcomer an incredibly loyal and far-flung fanbase.
