Hello banjo friends.  I have just signed up as a hangout member, and thought I would share with you an original song from my new album.  I hope you like it and look forward to getting to know the hangout better.  Thank you, Kaia   youtube.com/watch?v=IsoOu9uiDSY

Here's your terrific song embedded:

Is your album released? What's it called? Where can one get it?

Oh - one more question: What's the significance of the suitcases in the video?

Thank for for the video/link posting help, and for the kind words, Marc, Jeff and David.

My album is called 'Sorrow Bound', and you can buy it via my website (kaiakater.com/). It is released in Canada already, and will be available in the USA on June 16 through Kingswood Records (kingswoodrecords.com), but you can download it from my website now, if you wish.

There was no particular significance to the suitcases in the video - they simply helped bring some colour and atmosphere into the video (and photo) shoot. I have two more videos on the way (once the album is released in the USA). One is a Quebecois trad tune (En Filant Ma Quenouille) and the other will be another original of mine (When Sorrows Encompass Me Round).

Nice to meet you all!

Kaia, love your talents.  You have such soul and depth in your music.  Amazing, especially for being so young.  I look forward to watching your career.......:)

Thanks for being part of the Hangout.

Dave

Now here's a perk I don't see very often: I went to your website to order your album and it said that the CD version ships to Canada only (It usually the reverse, stuff I want to order doesn't ship here) - so I ordered it!  I'm guessing the download link will work anywhere (and I did download it as well, but I like CDs for my car where I do a lot of listening cranked up loud).

Thank you Dave. And Marc, your cd is in the mail today. Much appreciated.

Really good stuff! I'd suggest adding this video to your home page here (look in the right hand column after you sign in). It'll appear in the Media Archive and you'll get a bunch of comments!

Thank you Todd. Will do.

Your banjo and voice make a complete portrait.  I look forward to having you share more on BHO, and especially hope to hear some traditional West Virginian clawhammer music.
