Kathy Mattea in Concert

With sixteen top 10 hits, two Grammy Awards, numerous country music honors including Female Vocalist of the Year, and a Grammy nomination for her 2008 release Coal, Kathy Mattea is one of the most celebrated artists we’ve ever presented. We’re very fortunate that Kathy specifically asked to come to Alaska.

In late 1987 Kathy released her first #1 single, “Goin’ Gone,” and the next year saw her issue “Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses,” which won both the Country Music Association’s and Academy of Country Music’s Single Of The Year award. In 1989 and 1990 she won an ACM and two CMA awards as Female Vocalist of the Year, while keeping a steady presence at the top of the country charts with nine Top 10 singles, including a 1990 duet with Tim O’Brien, “The Battle Hymn Of Love,” as well as the tender “Where’ve You Been,” co-written by her husband, Jon Vezner, which earned her a Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. The same year also saw her first gold album, Willow In The Wind.

Throughout the ’90s, Kathy’s successes continued, charting still more singles, including 1994s top five single “Walking Away A Winner,” and releasing three more gold albums, the platinum-selling A Collection Of Hits and a long-awaited Christmas album,Good News, which earned Kathy her second Grammy, this time in the Gospel category. In 2000, her album The Innocent Years found her in her creative prime according to music critic Jay Orr. Her latest CD Coal reflects the stories and the lifestyle and people from her home state of West Virginia.

Expect an evening of powerful songs and great singing from this songcatcher.  Sunday, October 24, at the Hering Auditorium in Fairbanks, Alaska.
