Still Here!

(In case you were wondering :-)

Hey, I'm Kathleen Sabo...a Connecticut native but currently residing in the beautiful North Valley in central New Mexico...and by way of NYC, VA and TX. I write lyrical and instrumental music in a variety of genres and for a variety of projects...but, I guess for this purpose, we'll call me a singer/songwriter.

Many years ago, when I was still in high school in Trumbull, CT, a music writer from NYC came to watch me and others perform in a showcase. He was impressed with me and my music and my voice, calling me a "surprise" but wondered something like,  "is there any place for an earnest performer singing heartfelt songs?"

I've been figuring that out since reading that review!

To step back some...I began writing music at the age of 4, when I composed a blues tune titled, "Kindergarten Dropout." (Eager to disprove the prophecy of that song, I  not only stayed in Kindergarten, but also graduated from elementary school, high school, college and law school!) 

Later... at the age of 10, I pledged to myself to wait until she had "experienced everything that could be experienced in life" to seek full success in music. 

Later still...with a bit more perspective than I had at 10, and with the realization - and hope! - that I will keep experiencing life until the end, I teamed with Grammy-winning producer and guitarist Larry Mitchell to record my CD, "Map of the World," for your listening pleasure. Larry and I followed up with another CD titled, "Be Love," and continue to occasionally work and perform together as time and distance permit.

I have performed as a solo singer/songwriter in CT, NY, TX, VA and NM; been a member of a NY/CT jazz quintet; a member of a blues band; a member of a new wave band; a member of various duos and trios; sung with a big band; scored a college theater piece; composed for radio, television and film; and worked with children on musical compositions. 

I have worked as an attorney, a university and law school instructor, a public radio host and producer and a small business owner. I am the mother of two incredible and wondrous beings. I bring all of these influences - having experienced almost everything that could be experienced in life! - to my music. 

Now...I feel fortunate and compelled to get my music out to the public...in the hope that it will help to raise the vibration, forge connection and help listeners feel love and understanding for all!

Listen to the beauty on the surface or dive in to the depths of the lyrics and the passion of the music and delivery. Your reward just may be a deeper empathy for, and appreciation and understanding of yourself, others and the world. Enjoy!

I encourage you to reach out to schedule a performance, to collaborate and/or to have a heartfelt and open and authentic conversation.

I'm able and happy to travel here in the U.S. and abroad.

I'll welcome connecting with you! (Made easier if you sign up for my mailing list. :-)

Blessings and be well...

Kathleen <3
