Hey everyone I just wanted to let you know that I posted on Kate’s “Ask Kate” thread on her Kate Voegele 101 MySpace and she just replied today! I wanted to let her know about the site and see if she could possibly do an exclusive interview and maybe some exclusive content for ths site! Here is her reply!

“Thanks for the support! I love the site! It means a lot to have fans like you! Right now with touring and everything I’m supper busy but maybe after I can do something!”

1. Patty Griffin has probably been my biggest inspiration of all. She has this amazingly poetic way of saying anything, and her words make you feel the emotion of the song so intensely. She also has an unbelievable voice and writes the most beautiful melodies. “Living with ghosts” is probably my favorite album of all time.

2. Carole King is an unbelievable songwriter. “Tapestry” is another one of my favorite records. I love the unique way that she illustrates her point in a song. “My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue” is such a great lyric that I think everyone in the world can relate to because it’s so true that life is full of so many ups and downs and intricate details and so much ‘color,’ so to speak.

3. Mindy Smith has a heartbreakingly gorgeous voice. Her songs are simple and yet so artistic and honest. She’s also amazing live and one of the nicest people I’ve met in this business. I opened for her when I was about 16 and had absolutely nothing cool going on and she hung out and got dinner with me for a couple hours before the show and just let me pick her brain about her experience in the industry. You don’t forget stuff like that.

4. Bonnie Raitt is just the epitome of cool to me. It’s so awesome to see her rocking that telecaster onstage. Another amazing songwriter, and the power in her voice is ridiculous.

5. I love the raw, organic nature of everything Joni Mitchell does. Her voice is so unique, and her songs are eclectically infectious. “River” is heartbreaking and has so much vulnerability. I love that she’s a visual artist too. I’m a painter, and it’s always awesome to see songwriters expressing their creativity in a lot of different ways.

About Kate Voegele 101

“Hey everybody! there are so many things I’m passionate about, and thought it’d be fun to share it here with you.

Education has always been one of my passions. I was looking at ways to go back to school and balance my crazy tour schedule and found that University of Phoenix was the best fit for me - it allows me to study on my time whiel still pursuing my main passion - music.

I deffinately didn’t think I’d get the chance to go back to school while on my tour. It’s the best of both worlds! Keep checking back and join me as I go through school and life on the road.”

There will also be webisodes & video journals posted on the site (which I will also post on KVO)! You can watch as Kate juffles life on the road while earning her degree at University of Phoenix.

There is also a sweepstakes to win an Autographed Kate Voegele Guitar! Be sure to check it out!

“Hey, I’m having an amazing time on the road. Waking up in a new city everyday is an awesome surprise. My days are insanely busy with press and shows, but I make time to get a taste of each city I pass through. My new band is great. Every show is getting better. Check out my tour dates and come see me. I also started classes this week for University of Phoenix. It makes my day even busier but I’m really enjoying the opportunity to continue my education while on the road. Check out my UOP page at http://www.myspace.com/katevoegele101. I will be doing video blog updates regularly from the UOP site. Have a great day. -kate”
