The New Yorker magazine called her a "folk-rock goddess," and the Boston Herald said she is "One of the melodic delights of our age." Ever since Catie Curtis began touring the country in 1995, this Boston-based musician has been gathering critical accolades and a devoted grassroots following with her vivid songwriting, her sweet, soulful voice, her dedication to social issues, and her great onstage energy. One decade, many miles, and eight albums later, Catie has gained a solid artistic reputation and seen her original tunes grace TV series like Alias and Dawson's Creek, plus several indie movies.

Catie returns to the Freight tonight with a knockout evening of music from her recent album, Long Night Moon (Compass), a great selection of songs full of wit and compassion, including "People Look Around," which won Catie the Grand Prize in this year's prestigious International Songwriting Competition.

Mark Erelli opens the shows and accompanies Catie for her sets.
