Keyboard Cathy - February 11, 2008

GJK Promotions proudly presents, Keyboard Cathy Wiegand from New Jersey, as Artist of the Day.

Keyboard Cathy plays pop music with a comedy twist. Keyboard Cathy's website http://www.keyboardcathy.com/ has bio, pics, news, audio samples, music and a place to buy Keyboard Cathy's cd "Inspiration". When I listened to the song "Sushi Lover" I knew that Cathy needed to be showcased as her comedic look on life was inspirational. I took this blurb right from her website;

Below are some reasons why Keyboard Cathy's music is relevant to your life:
• It makes you feel good.
• It makes you laugh
• It may Inspire you to take action
(Ex. random acts of kindness)
• It unites generations
(Kids, teens adults and seniors)
• It banishes boredom anytime, anywhere
(At home and elsewhere)
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
• It helps one singer/songwriter with good intentions to touch a lot of lives - one song at a time.

To listen to Keyboard Cathy, find out where she is playing, watch a video, join the Keyboard Cathy mailing list or just find out more about what makes this girl rock, check out her myspace at
