Cathy and David are also in the midst of creating their first album for release this fall. The CD is being recording in their home studio in Kingston Springs and will consist of five songs, one of them being hit songwriter Steve Seskin’s “Warm Wind.” Once the initial CD is completed, Ms. Kent and Mr. Gordon plan on releasing a series of additional singles into the marketplace. Cathy Kent began playing the piano about the age of five. As a child she would sing with her sisters at club meetings and family gatherings. At fourteen, Cathy was encouraged by her mother to learn the steel guitar. She performed at wedding receptions, small-town festivals, state competitions, and eventually, clubs and honky-tonks with her family group “Shades of Country.” Later, she performed with her sisters in a Vegas-style variety show as “The Sistars.” Recently, “Ride the Wind,” a song written by Cathy Kent and Cheryl Ashton was picked up for the 2008 Summer Olympics. Cathy and Cheryl also have songs currently being played in the Christian radio market. Goodnight Kiss Music in Los Angeles picked up Cathy Kent’s rendition of “How Great Thou Art” for a Christian compilation CD in 2008. David started singing in church with his mother about the age of six. His first musical instrument was a harmonica that he bought from paper route proceeds in his mid-teens. At 18 years old, he purchased his first guitar. In his 20s, he moved to Southern California, performing as a heavy-metal singer in some of the famous Hollywood and Orange County clubs under the eye of Niji Management of Studio City, California. In the mid-90s David went solo and returned to playing guitar. Cathy and David continue to reach for significance in their art while sharing the journey with their home-communities and beyond through sight, sound, hope, and faith. “Cathy Kent is a great singer…she doesn't just sing a song, she feels it and makes you feel it too." — Steve Seskin, Hit Songwriter, Performer “Grown Men Don't Cry” and “Don’t Laugh at Me”
