Interview with Catherine Lewans

Saskatchewan Country artist Catherine Lewans has worked with some of the world’s best musicians & songwriters through her emerging career - including a duet with Country star Dierks Bentley at Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon. Dierks recognized her talent when they spoke before the show and, much to her delight, invited Catherine to perform his hit Long Trip Alone as part of his encore. She completed her debut album Kickin’ Up Dust in December 2009. Her inspiration for the project came from her experiences growing up on a farm outside Shaunavon, Saskatchewan and the heart-breaking loss of a friend who passed away suddenly. The album has been warmly received by radio and lead to her being named the 2011 Saskatchewan Country Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year. Catherine is excited to have the opportunity to write with some great Canadian & Nashville-based writers as she works towards writing & recording her next album set for release in 2012.
