Details:
Kathleen Haskard is a 4th generation native Californian who divides her time between the rooftops of Southeast London and a tipi in a canyon on the Pacific coast in the Santa Monica Mountains above Ventura County Line. Her ancestors include a Mexican folk hero and an Irish political activist who was a footsoldier in the American labor movement.

Kathleen's debut album, "Into The Deep", was released on indie label Howlin' Hound. Songs such as Adam's Apple, Jello Mould, Galileo, Strange Resistance, Longing, Out In The Light, Cheap Perfume and I Purr and I Roar underscore the biting wit and hard earned wisdom that permeates Kathleen's ironic view of life.

Kathleen has been a Bug Music songwriter for 8 years, through collaborations with Nashville writers Stacey Earle ("Losers Weep"), Texan Sandy Stewart ("Into The Deep") and LA-based acoustic artists Lowen & Navarro ("My Own Way Of Doing Things").

A political activist since her teenage years in California, she worked for Tom Hayden's Campaign for Economic Democracy. In September 2002 Kathleen joined the Stop The War campaign and was one of over 100 prominent UK writers, musicians, artists and actors signing an open letter to prime minister Tony Blair urging the British government to oppose US plans to invade Iraq.

Last year Kathleen had the honour of singing backing vocals as part of the choir on the new Neil Young album LIVING WITH WAR.

Kathleen has supported/toured with Chuck Prophet, Stacey Earle & Mark Stuart, Lowen & Navarro, Suzy Boguss, David Lindley, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, John Renbourn, Clyde Stubblefield, Nick Harper & Glen Tilbrook and Robyn Hitchcock. She has also played the Edinburgh Festival, Galway Arts Festival, Mexico's International Guitar Festival at Zihuatanejo and american festivals including Durango, SXSW (Austin, Texas), NXNW (Portland, Oregon) and the Folk Alliance.

Kathleen spent last year writing and recording her new album, which was produced by Chuck Prophet and Simon Alpin and will be released in May 2007. "The beautiful mystery of this album unfolds in the listening"......
