Kate Voegele At Borders Books and Music at Stonestown June 7, 2009

At 22 years old, Kate Voegele is juggling life as a full-time singer-songwriter, part-time actress and a college student. She played spunky Mia on popular teen drama One Tree Hill, performing her own music. Voegele is seeing her musical wish list come true with A Fine Mess, scheduled for release in May 19, 2009. Songs penned on airplanes and tour buses, cafés and hotel rooms in Los Angeles. "I got all this inspiration and a bunch of ideas from a year and a half on the road," she says. "I've traveled to so many different places and had all these unexpected adventures with great people — that's where this body of work comes from.”

The album introduces itself with ‘99 Times’, a gritty, hard-driving song that sees Voegele lashing out at the common frienemy. On the sweeping ‘Sweet Silver Lining,’ she sings of finding hope in times of grave misfortune. Voegele's attempt at a love song is the ballad ‘Forever and Almost Always.’Among the album’s many highlights is ‘Angel’, which disavows peoples' perception of Voegele as an eternal good girl. Along similar lines, Voegele strikes back at the smarmy pickup with the country-esque, ‘Talkin’ Smooth’.

But don't worry, Voegele hasn't completely abandoned her good-natured side or her optimism. She says, “It's just about how unpredictable life can be. It’s a total rollercoaster that's out of your control and you have to be able to embrace the crazy ups and downs, so you might as well enjoy it."

Join us as she sings and autographs her new album (CD must be purchased during the event so that it can be autographed).

Looking forward to seeing you there!
