He received a 4-star review from the UK’s “Uncut” magazine for his 2007 album “Turning.” He has released 17 critically acclaimed albums, including his latest, 2022’s “Seriously," which many critics and fans have praised as his finest record yet.  . 

Kaat

My name is Kathleen Campbell. I use Kaat for short. My stage name is Kaatwalk. I am a full-time musician in the Minneapolis area. I sing and I play guitar. I have a two man band called Marv & Kaat. I sing with Ty Pow & the holy North, and I work with Walking Phoenix as well. I’ve been performing professionally since 2019. I released two songs last year and recorded music videos for both of them. My song Monster won the songwriting contest at the International Model and Talent Association in Orlando Florida back in 2021.
