Kathryn Calder Of The New Pornographers Prepares For Solo Debut
Kathryn Calder prepares debut album with the help of her friends
It's good to have firends in high places, especially when you're in a high place yourself. Keyboardist Kathryn Calder has lent her talent to Immaculate Machine and the New Pornographers for the past several years. Soon a little voice sprung into her head asking her "If they can do it, why can't you?" Calder employed the help of her friend and her producer Collin Stewart to make her wish come true. The result is her debut album Are You My Mother? and it enlists the help of some of the friends Calder has made while playing in other bands. Neko Case, Kurt Dahle, Todd Fancey, and members of Ladyhawke and Frog Eyes helped Calder mold her ideas into a well-thought out album. For someone that has always played in the bandground, this debut puts Calder's remarkable voice and talent right in the forefront. Calder is currently on tour with the New Pornographers. Are You My Mother? debuts August 10 on File Under Music. Take a listen to Calder's single "Slip Away" below.
