Late in 2001 Kat Jones arrived back in America from a year of traveling the world knowing that music was going to be different for her from hear on out.  Her hunches were startlingly correct.

One month later she began playing American clubs again to amazing responses and sometimes shock of how she had grown as an artist whilst she'd been away. 

During this period she began working with Jeff Cloud, owner of Velvet Blue Music to help her get her feet wet in the industry and see what they could do with a three song demo they decided to record.  The result of this was "Building."  An acclaimed single released by the record label in late 2002.

Since the release of that record she began touring feverishly and writing a full-length record due out in May called "La Rosa, La Calavera" (translated:  The Rose, The Skull). 

The record, recorded by Frank Lenz, carries a strong western sound with a theme of life and death laced through each song.  Songs like "The Great Scottish Hurricane" and "Sleeping Winter Fool" come out re-written (after having made an appearance on Building) and continue to remind her and us of who she was before she left for Scotland and how it changed her life.  Where as a hymn Kat wrote entitled "The Case" closes the record to give us sort of a picture of what point of view she's coming from in the writing of each song.

Kat, now 26, continues to tour in support of La Rosa, La Calavera.  We wait quietly holding our breath for the future and know that it is bright.
