The crowd anxiously waited for Kate Voegele to take the stage at The Roxy on Wednesday night. The guitars began, the curtain rose and the crowd went wild for this petite 21 year old Ohio native as she began to belt out the lyrics to the first song of her set. It is always surprising to find how such a tiny person can have such a powerful voice. Not only is Kate’s voice powerful, but it is also very captivating and unique, which makes her the perfect vehicle for Myspace Records to launch their label. Her sound reminds me a lot of Michelle Branch in the early years. There was plenty of fun to go around as Kate’s energy was present for the duration of her set, keeping the audience involved and the music flowing from song to song. Many young girls were sitting in the front row mouthing the lyrics to each of her songs. In between songs, Kate was very personable with the audience. At one point, she talked about the horrible events leading up to the show, i.e. her guitarist getting hit by a car while crossing the street on Sunset Blvd. Luckily, he was cleared to play the gig. Being the dedicated musician he is, Sam Getz sat on the stage and played the guitar with his leg wrapped in a boot during the entire show. Afterall, the show must go on right? Aside from being a talented singer, Kate is also an award-winning songwriter. There is something to say about songwriters performing their own music; the emotions are present in their performance because each of the songs have a personal meaning to the artist. You may have heard some of Kate’s songs featured on various episodes of the hit CW TV series “One Tree Hill”. This was by far one of the best concerts we have attended over the last few months. We strongly believe that Kate Voegele is a name you will be hearing a lot more of in the near future! The “Back 2 School” tour is sponsored by the University of Phoenix. There are 19 shows left on the tour. (Thanks to Bessie at hollywoodteenzine.com for letting us know about the review!)
