When the singer/songwriter movement boomed in the mid-1990s, Catie Curtis was at it's core. A veteran artist with a 15 year career, Curtis has recorded nine solo albums and was recently honored to be selected to perform at the Obama inauguration in Washington D. C. Over the years, Curtis' many fans have requested stripped down version of her classic songs, capturing the spirit and intimacy of her live shows. With HELLO STRANGER, Curtis achieves that career goal. The album features Curtis in the company of a select group of Nashville all-star pickers on re-workings of some fan favorites.
