Lauren RabainoA 20-year-old singer who has already toured with the Dave Matthews Band, the Wreckers, Howie Day and John Mellencamp will perform at 11 a.m. today at University Union Plaza.
Pop artist Kate Voegele will be singing songs off her new album, “Don’t Look Away,” including “Only Fooling Myself,” which was the winner of the USA Songwriting Contest. Her music is sure to entice students to listen while walking through the UU.
This edgy up-and-coming artist writes her own songs and plays guitar and piano. Her talent is conveyed through her music and performance; it even caused the producers at MySpace to sign her to their record label in 2006.
Voegele has also been labeled “the commercial Patty Griffin” due to her deep lyrics and emotionally strong singing voice.
Her songs “Facing Up” and “It’s Only Life” have been featured on MTV’s “The Hills” and “Newport Beach.” “Only Fooling Myself” also appeared on the season finale of “The Ghost Whisperer” last spring on CBS.
The singer-songwriter is on her way to something big with her talent and music.
Voegele will be touring with Ben Lee and the Cary Brothers starting in New York City in late November.
