Catherine Feeny (born 1976) is an American singer/songwriter based in Portland, Oregon.
She grew up in Norristown, Pennsylvania, studied in Washington, D.C., and finally relocated to Los Angeles, where she started seriously writing her own songs.[1] Her first album Catherine Feeny was produced by fellow singer/songwriter Joe Purdy and was released in the UK in January 2003. Shortly later, she met producer Sebastian Rogers who then produced her second album: Hurricane Glass, which was released in the UK in June 2006. It includes the single "Mr Blue" which features in the 2006 film Running With Scissors.[2]
For several years she lived in Norwich before moving to Oregon in 2008, where her third album, entitled People in the Hole, is currently in production.
She originally released Hurricane Glass on her own Tallgrass Records before signing to EMI in 2007.[3][4] She is published by Warner-Chappell.
She has toured with Hal, Aberfeldy, Martha Wainwright, Dr. John, John Prine, Suzanne Vega, and The Hotel Cafe Tour. She has accompanied Kelly Jones of the Stereophonics on the "Only The Names Have Been Changed" tour.
