Kate’s CD titled Damn Sure Blue was recorded by Will Kimbrough at Kimbrough Super Service with additional recording by Robert Lucas at Barefoot Jerry’s Cinderella Sound Studio (with special thanks to Wayne Moss) and mixed by Todd Robbins in Nashville, Damn Sure Blue features a cast of stellar musicians including Will Kimbrough (guitars, bass, mandolin, banjo, mandola, keyboards, percussion and harmony vocals), Chris Carmichael (violin, viola, and cello), Dave Jacques (upright bass), Bryan Owings (drums and percussion), Kevin Gordon (guitars and harmony vocals), Phil Madeira (accordion), and Kate (piano and acoustic guitar).
As you can see we’ve got a brand new website here at katecampbell.com. Lots of additions and improvements all around. There’s a nifty little audio player at the top of the Home Page where you can listen to a track from every one of Kate’s albums. There are also music players for each album on the album page under Music. You can also find notes, lyrics and reviews there as well. The new site is “responsive,” meaning that it will adapt perfectly to phone, tablets and all sizes of computer monitors. The music players will now work on phones and tablets as well! We hope you like the new look and the improvements!

Samantics Choir, and well-known soloists drawn from Sacramento, the Bay area, Nashville and D.C., will premiere an original choral work composed by Sam Schieber, Director of Samantics. Sam calls upon his lifelong experience with a wide variety of choral and solo writing to construct a work that showcases the unique talents of the Samantics Choir. True to all Samantics programs, this is guaranteed to be like no other concert experience!
The score, by Samantics Director, Sam Schieber, sets texts drawn from the traditional Requiem liturgy, the Psalms and the poems of George Herbert. In keeping with the subject matter, the piece will be mostly serious—but you can also count on a few Samantics touches!

Spooner later moved to Los Angeles and has continued to be a sought-after backing musician, recording and performing with such artists as Bob Dylan, Joe Cocker, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, the Everly Brothers, and many others!

“Brother Joseph and the Grotto,” currently in production, tells the “true fairy tale” of the tiny Bavarian hunchback monk who built a miniature city in the Alabama woods. Brother Joseph Zoettl, who died in 1961, built more than 125 miniature buildings out of concrete and recycled materials on the grounds of Saint Bernard Abbey in Cullman. This feature documentary is a creative chronicle of Brother Joseph’s life, which contains many of the hallmarks of classic fairy tales (e.g. name change, long journey, superhuman feat). As such, the documentary will have a fairy-tale structure.

To listen to Kate’s song AVE MARIA GROTTO visit YouTube.
Brother Joseph was a simple man
Collected rubbish for his building plans
Alabama clay, shells from the sea
Broken china plates and rosary beads
Ave Maria
Ave Maria
Well he never saw the wonders of the world
But he built them all in perfect miniature
People talk about the places they’ve been
But Joseph found peace within
Ave Maria
Ave Maria
And when time erodes all things manmade
True devotion will still remain
Ave Maria
Ave Maria

AVE MARIA GROTTO is included on two of Kate’s albums: SING ME OUT and ROSARYVILLE
