March 3rd at Saint Peter's Church, Prez Fest. We talked about your Mom, Cobi, Delilah and her daughter, Jill, before the concert. I told you that the major factor why I attended was that you were the emcee; besides, it's important for locals to support our own. I was so happy I went. It was a good time. The talent was superb! Enjoyed your rendiitions of the Cab But I tell you I was more happy with your emcee skills. Wonderful! Shirl Carter

Love you! Glad I got to say "Hello" between sets at Shanghai Jazz when I congratulated your belated but much deserved success (but asked that you not get too, too famous lest I no longer be able to afford admission to your shows!) Ken

I had the great pleasure of hearing you a few days ago in StThomas You sang a song about a bottle of whiskey that was "so quiet when it was on the shelf" Loved the song and your delivery, but i can't find music, words or a recording of the song. Can you point me in a direction?
By the way, I am a mandolin player, southern string band and memphis jug band styles, I lam enjoying the CD I purchased from you with the banjo-mandolin, and the pedal steel.
Thanks again for coming to our island, You have a lot of very enthusiastic supportters down here.

Catherine,
You are awesome, crazy good !!! "strictly romancin' " is by far the GREATEST cd of 2012 any/every genre. (The musical arrangements are the bomb, too.)
Keep on singing it like you singing it girl and please don't you ever stop, don't even think about stopping singing.

I absolutely LOVE your music and was thrilled to hear your coming back to Atlanta soon!!! I was fortunate to have seen you when you were in town with Levon and fell in love with your voice and music and the next day went out and bought your cd's. By the way, I just noticed your with Paul Kahn/Concerted Efforts in Somerville, MA. I grew up about an hour south in Marion, MA, use to come up to the city for shows all the time when I was there.
Please keep me posted anywhere your going to perform in the Southeast and it will be a great roadtrip for me, thanks!

catherine, i could not forget to let you know what a great interview and voice on NPR. i, too, have a bit of familiarity with Louis Armstrong. When I was 5 years old i sat on his lap at the Moulin Rouge restaurant in Los Angeles. That was in 1956! he sang happy birthday to me! on stage. of course, i did not know him, but my parents (now both gone, and unfortunately, both deserted me for the most part most of my life), but i do have that true story about "Sachmo" to tell. guess that is why to this day i love the so-called "old" music, the type of music you do so well. of course, like you, i still love the old rock songs, too, of Led Zepplin, Stones, and so many more, the Who, on and on. Keep singing, Catherine. Your voice is so good. Kathryn
Dec. 27, 2012
I heard an interview with you on NPR and listened to some of your songs. I can't believe I missed you all of these years. No problem now. Thanks! David Kerr
Dec. 26, 2012
Spent Christmas yesterday listing to Jane Siberry's "Child" live Christmas album that I bought at the replicate Seattle show you all played at several years ago. Your performance of "What Child is This" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I posted it on a friend's Facebook page who is a midwife and delivered her daughter's daughter earlier yesterday morning. Simply amazing, apropos and beatiful.. Thanks so much, Catherine.

Catherine,
Enjoyed your interview and your voice of course on NPR. Awsesome. I related to the part of haveing parents from the 30-40's in music. My dad was an arranger fro Artie Shaw and Glenn Miller. He was in Europe with Glenn Miller and took over the orchestra when Miller disapeared. My step mom was USO singer in the Pacific. Hope you come out west soon. Thanks for the great music.

I have to thank the CBC for introducing me to Catherine Russell back in the summer. I have heard quite alot of her stuff now and it bears repeated listening. It is soulful and elegant and deliciously clear. She is glorious. I would love to see her live. I'd like to cook dinner for her. All the best to her. She has given us hers!

I'm hearing Catherine tonight on Mountain Stage on WAMC New York/Albany. I have always appreciated Mountain Stage music, but never before have I been so excited by a vocalist. I appreciated the shout out to Alberta Hunter, and not to take anything away from Catherine's personal style...but I am reminded of one of my favorite vocalists, Abbey Lincoln. I hope Catherine returns to Saratoga, so I can see her live. I know what CD will be under my tree this Christmas! THANKS! Chris Browne

Via the Jazz station on my cable TV, I have just "discovered" your amazing talent: I love your voice, your style, your depth, your delivery -- everything! Now that I've found your website, I hope to hear you in more places than on my television! Your music shows the lineage of the swing era brought into the 21st century. I love that. Always felt as if I had been born too late, but listening to you makes me feel that I'm living at exactly the right time. Thank you!
