"Emotive intelligence, place-setting compositions and a gorgeous silky voice are Kathleen's greatest allies. Powered by a quiet urgency, I imagine most of her songs as the backdrop for cathartic moments in dramatic film or love stories performed on the stage" - Ryan Spaulding, Boston Music Critic "Ryan's Smashing Life"

Kathleen Sieck's album, “Goodnight America" (2020), is a statement piece from this seasoned singer-songwriter. Paired with a classic sound, her pop melodies create a sense of melancholy and nostalgia, with lyrics deeply rooted in a sense of time and location. Produced by Raymond Richards B-Side Studios and co-produced by Bobby Hartry at CatBeach Studio, this 8-song collection was released via CatBeach Music, in February 2020. 

A California native, Kathleen's music is a collection of poetry and storytelling that reflects life and love on the Central Coast of California. Pulling from the traditions of old-school country music, early-American folk and gospel, and singer-songwriters such as Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Josh Ritter, and Allison Krauss, Kathleen’s clear and tranquil voice and lyrics combine to create a fresh and soulful style of Americana-folk.

Born and raised in the Santa Ynez Valley, Kathleen began studying piano at the age of 4 and violin soon after.  As an elementary student, she developed a passion for writing and storytelling, and she worked on several novels, finishing a History of the Kings and Queens of England during her freshman year of high school.

In 2012, Kathleen began writing and performing Americana music. Inspired by the impressive wealth of musical tradition that has arisen out of North America, particularly folk, gospel, and old-school country, she wrote and co-produced Where the Sleepers Lie (2014). The album is an evocative collection of love songs, robust and passionate storytelling and poetry. It reflects the spirit and essence of the Central Coast and also hearkens back to an earlier time. 

Since then, Kathleen has been writing new music and playing live shows all throughout the Central Coast and Los Angeles. She was invited to play Adam Duritz's (The Counting Crows) NYC - Outlaw Roadshow in 2016 and has participated in the Durango Songwriter Festival. Since 2019, Kathleen has been touring nationally with Shaun Cassidy as a vocalist and keyboard player in his band.

Currently, Kathleen is co-producing a new record, Antares, at Coyote Road Studios in Santa Barbara with Jon Firey (producer) and Sean McCue (engineer) and The Paradise Road. This album will be released in summer 2024.

The Paradise Road

With a SoCal blend of Americana and seventies rock, Kathleen Sieck and her band, The Paradise Road bring an easy end-of-summer sound to the central coast. Velvety vocals and story-driven lyrics are the highlights of their rich and mellow vibe, reminiscent of The Band, Fleetwood Mac, Aimee Mann and Carole King.

Kathleen is joined by Jason Gonzalez (guitar/banjo), Aaron Campos (bass), and Austin Beede (percussion) to form The Paradise Road.  Together, their sound is both fresh and soulful Americana.
