My music video for Impossible Love has been nominated for a Just Plain Folks award for Best Music Video!

Hey y'all - I'm coming to Colorado for a few days at the beginning of July to play some shows and record a new song. Check out the calendar for dates. I'll be playing with the wonderful and talented Nina Storey! Visit her website (www.NinaStorey.com) for some excellent music.

I had a great CD Release show at the Culver Hotel in Los Angeles a few weeks ago kicking off the new EP, "Once." This past weekend I celebrated again with a Baton Rouge CD Release show at Brew-Ha-Ha with Peter Simon opening. We had a great show and packed the venue. Thanks to everyone who came out to both shows! You can hear the new music up on my Myspace Page (myspace.com/katelynbenton).

Hey Friends-

Cool news, next week I am shooting a music video for Impossible Love, off of my new EP Once. My good friend Brandon Nicholas is directing. Brandon is also responsible for the Artwork for the Once Ep (check out my photo gallery for some of the pictures he took).

Stay tuned for news on when the music video will launch. In the mean time, get your fix with the new tunes at www.digstation.com/katelynbenton

Hey Everyone!

I'm really excited to be playing at this year's NAMM show in Anaheim, CA. If you're attending the show, I will be performing in the PreSonus booth located at 6330 in Hall A at 2:00 PM on Sunday, Jan. 18. I will be playing with the very talented David Haynes and Toby Karlin. It's sure to be a great time, so stop by if you're around!

Hi Everyone. I'm living and playing in Los Angeles now. I also started a blog about music that I'd like to share with you!

Enjoy!

I start recording my new EP this weekend! Engineer Eddie Mapp (FOH man for Evanescence) and I are teaming up to create a 4-6 song EP that will be available this summer at shows and on itunes.

This Saturday I am recording with the band, then vocals within the coming weeks. Check back for updates and clips of the new material.

Hey Everyone!

I'm planning a short tour this July with comedian Max Goldberg (www.maxgoldbergonline.com) hitting cities TBD between Baton Rouge and Los Angeles. Part of the tour will include a string of shows in Denver, Colorado, so keep an eye out for new shows added to the calendar.

Hey All!!

I'm booking now for Spring and Summer for 2008. If you have anywhere you would like to see me play, drop me an e-mail and let me know!

Hey everyone. I've relocated to Baton Rouge for the time being. I'm very busy writing and getting ready to get some BRAND NEW music out soon! Keep an ear out for it!

Hey everyone!
I'm about to finish my last winter at Berklee! I'm very excited about graduating this summer and making myself more available to travel and perform for you. Right now I am getting ready to record some songs to release at the beginning of summer. Be sure to check back for updates.

I am raising money again for my Boston Marathon charity. I will be playing shows in April to serve as benefit concerts for the New Blance charity I run for. If you would like to donate but can't make a show, e-mail me.

Check back soon!

Hey Everyone! I am now hosting a radio show on the internet that all of you can tune in to! I am on every Thursdy night live from 11pm to 1am (Eastern Time). That same show repeats on Friday 6am-8am and on Friday 1pm-3pm (EST). On Mondays I am hosting a talk/news show starting at 6pm EST (repeats 8am Tuesday morning EST). Go to www.TheBirn.com to check it out!

I'm well into the middle of Berklee's summer semester working very hard to graduate in 2007 instead of 2008. I've also been practicing my band for gigs in the fall (keep an eye on our calendar). I'm so excited to be playing with these musicians, they are incredibly talented, be sure to come check us out!

Well- I did it. On Monday I ran in the Boston Marathon. I finished with a time of 3:58, and felt very good throughout the run. To get me through those 26.2 miles, I made a list of the people that inspire me and I wanted to make proud. Many of my music mentors were a part of this list (and a part of my ipod mix!). Thanks for helping me get through it! I'll post a picture soon.

I've decided to stay in Boston for the summer. Those of you who are in Colorado, I'm planning to do a show while I come in town in the middle of May. More on that when I get the details.

School has been keeping me very busy, as usual. But as usual, I love it and don't mind at all. I have been writing quite a bit lately and I'm very excited as my classes progress, to be polishing up my writing skills. Because I'm staying in Boston this summer, I'll be graduating next year! As for what comes after that...who knows what direction I will take in the next year!

Check back soon for more updates and new pictures!

I'm so close to making it through another winter in Boston, y'all. Just a few more weeks...(hopefully).

For the time being, the Subdudes came through last week to remind me of home. I was lucky to get to catch up with John over lunch before their show and hear a little bit about their tour. Their show was fantastic and their new album "Behind the Levee" is incredible. Catch a show if you get a chance.

In a few weeks I'll be headed into the studio to get some recording finished. I've also been writing quite a bit lately. I'll try to get some stuff up on the site for you to listen to, even if it's a little rough.

Thanks for checking in. Check back soon for more updates. Happy Mardi Gras!

Hello Everyone! I hope that January was good to you. I am back in Boston working hard in classes, marathon training, and writing many new songs. I will be recording in March, so I am sticking with my goal of having something for you all by the summer.

Last week I got the opportunity to tag along with Big Head Todd and the Monsters and Hazel Miller for a few days. They are currently on their winter tour, and after their show in Boston (which was awesome!) I spent a couple days with the boys and Hazel on the road. Being around such talented people is very motivating to me. I really admire Hazel, so I was very thrilled to get to know her a little bit. I am very excited for what this summer has to bring during my visit to Colorado. Keep checking the site for updates!

Also, I am still raising marathon money for the Boston City Police Department. If you're interested in donating, shoot me an e-mail. Take care!

Hey Everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday season. I had a great time traveling between Boston, Denver, and Louisiana. I've been doing a lot of exciting planning for this upcoming year. Plans for the release of the new album are being made. I'm in the middle of writing a lot of new material, so be on the lookout! In addition to getting the album ready, I will be racing in this year's Boston Marathon and am in training for that. I have been made a part of a charity team to raise money for the Boston City Police Department. By the way, if you'd like to make a donation, send me an e-mail. Wish me Luck :) I hope the new year found all of you doing great. Check back soon.
