Bio

Raised in Lancaster, CA, I left in 1992 to pursue a career in music.  My journey took me places like Jackson Hole, Jacksonville and Cleveland.  I made music along the way (The Prairie Dudes, JunkQueen and a variety of cover bands).

In 2000 I returned to California to be closer to my family.  I landed in San Diego and started playing music with Matt Silvia (8ball Rack) as well as hosting open mics.  In 2002 I began hosting showcases under ListenLocalsd.com.

In 2006 I released Desert Music with my band The Cathryn Beeks Ordeal which was nominated for a San Diego Music Award.  I married the man of my dreams in 2008 and released a new album, Mood Swing in November of 2009 which was nominated for Best Local Recording in 2010 by the SDMA's. 

 
I am currently the host of The Homegrown Hour, a local music show on 102.1 KPRI Sunday nights at 8pm and I host live local music showcases several times each week via my website, ListenLocalsd.com.  The Ordeal is on hiatus but watch for the new project.... coming soon.
