Singer-songwriter Kathryn Priestley's latest CD entitled Travel On is a reflection of the years she has spent pursuing her dreams. The title cut is a tribute to the resilient soul who continues to follow her heart in the face of adversity. Kathryn Priestley embodies this song.

Priestley’s journeyman career has taken her to all regions of the United States. A Wisconsin native, she has performed at coffeehouses, festivals, colleges, and on radio stations in her native Midwest, the Northwest, the Southeast and, most recently, the East Coast. Kathryn has been a featured guest on Public Radio in several cities and has won recognition and awards including VH-1 Song of the Year finalist in the Folk genre, and 1st Place in the Willamette Valley Folk Festival Songwriter's Contest in Eugene, OR.

While living in Nashville, Priestley was a regular performer at the Gibson Café, The Broken Spoke, and Borders Coffeehouse. She performed at Songwriter's Night at the famed Blue Bird Café and also played on WTN Nashville Radio-Writer's Night broadcast live from the Opryland Hotel.2000 Priestley relocated to the East Coast, settling in Rhode Island.

Her new CD, Travel On, was released on Pawper Records (a division of Dancing Dog Productions, LLC) in late 2004, and marks a dramatic departure from her first two albums. Where Another Year Come and Gone (1994) and Salt of the Earth (1995) showcased Kathryn’s songs with a minimal orchestration, Travel On focuses on bringing a fuller sound to her music.

Like the journey of life itself, Travel On demonstrates Priestley’s maturing musical styles through folk, rock, pop, even new age, adding unique ethnic flavors along the way.
Travel On is Priestley’s first collaboration with veteran producer, David Vartanian, who has worked with such notables as Claudia Schmidt, Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads), The Violent Femmes, and The Crash Test Dummies. Together with guitarist and producer Patrick Hall, who worked with Priestley on previous releases, the three created the richest instrumentation yet of Priestley’s music.

Kathryn’s music reflects her love of the outdoors and the honesty of the natural world around us. She is an avid camper, backpacker, and animal lover. She currently lives in Rhode Island with her partner Rachel, and their dog, Chelsea.
