is a progressive and acoustic musical experiment involving a
trio of Pittsburghese songwriters. With well-honed

delivery, this all-original and energetic group catapulted
onto the scene with songs that parallel lives they live and
witness, and speak of discovery and disillusionment, the
ethereal and enlightening, the mundane and magical. Perhaps
they remind you of Big Brother & the Holding Company meets
Michael Hedges, writing the songs of Beethoven, Belle &
Sebastian and Tool. Listen online at

everyone needs to know about Cathy Stewart is
that she is first and foremost a songwriter. She'd rather

as its good enough not to make your ears bleed, she's done
ok.
