In October 1998, Kathy, together with duo partner Veronica (Wayward Angels), independently released their debut CD 'Fall'. Following the success of Wayward Angels, Kathy was convinced it was time to launch her full time solo career.Since then, Kathy has enjoyed playing the pubs and clubs and travelling the country roads so much a part of the Aussie Country Music scene.  Kathy enjoys harmony enriched music and continues to perform contemporary Country - blending original material with her favourite classic Country hits.   Kathy's voice is undeniably Country - she has the voice, the natural stage presence, and the smile to keep her fans entertained.
