Cathy McManamon has written music since the age of six (though thankfully she won't share any of the REALLY early songs) and sidetracked through church music and classroom music education before getting back to writing and performing her own music. She has been playing solo and in collaboration with a few other musicians since 2003, including the groups Tragic Hair Shadow (an Indigo Girls cover duo), Merry Meet (a faerie-based vocal group), the Pegasus winner Random Fractions (with Jason Neerenberg and Daniel Gunderson) and repeat Pegasus nominee hard rock/filk band Toyboat. Cathy also recently joined the Canticles Production family as a studio musician and composer/arranger. She wields mainly an acoustic guitar and hand or electronic kit drums, but has been known to dabble with keyboards, recorders, assorted small percussion, flute, pedal organ (her first instrument), bowed psaltery, harp, chimes, and boomwhackers. She has released eight albums of solo and collaborative/band work to date and has guested on several other artists' albums. Cathy loves the variety of facilitating music workshops, jams, and drum circles at various cons and outdoor festivals, she headed the Music track at Windycon for five years, and loves being on the road where she finds much of her inspiration for composing.
