Kat Goldman

Influenced by some of the great musical icons, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Paul Simon,Kat Goldman's on stage persona is a musical cocktail. A distinctive blend of coffee house comfort and snappy pop pertinence.

With a unique structuring of melody and infectious hooks, the honesty and often whimsical humor of Goldman's presence are the crux of her musical ID card. No matter what size the crowd she’s playing in front of, her incredibly persuasive and convincingly laid back banter between songs makes you feel like you’re in her living room.

The attraction to the music found on her debut CD, The Great Disappearing Act, is the eloquence of Kat’s storytelling style. Escapism and the perpetual searching for one’s self are strong themes of Kat’s lyrical journey.

Produced by Gavin Brown (Big Sugar, Sarah Harmer, David Usher), The Great Disappearing Act captures Goldman’s personal torrents of feelings and emotions. The Runaway focuses on one’s fear to jump into relationships. A Soft Place To Land On is a magical spiritual odyssey. Underground reveals feelings about closure and saying goodbye to a place we called home. The lyrics and music for Balloon, a signature track on the album, came to Kat while underwater. It’s a "coming of age" song, based on a true journey she took in a hot air balloon that went off course and ended in a crash landing on a farm.

Having graced the stage at NXNE, Taste of The Danforth and Canadian Music Week as well as opening for Australian darlings The Waifs, Blue Rodeo’s Bob Egan, Sarah Slean, and Martin Sexton, Goldman is on course.
