Artist History
Kathy Osgood was raised in Vermont and studied piano and is glad now she occasionally took the time to practice. She found an old Washburn guitar under her grandmother's bed and taught herself three chords which was sufficient for most songs at the time.She attended Bard College in Annandale on Hudson, New York where she spent most of her time working in improvisational music. Eventually she found a way to fuse unusual with pop and come out with something accessible yet deep and interesting.The twelve songs on her album "Play to Win" are all original. Each sounds different from the next. If you're a fan of Annie Lennox, Fiona Apple, or Concrete Blond this cd may be for you. Strong vocals and layered harmonies add nicely to the overall mix. Excellent studio musicians add tremendous texture,depth and polish to the listeners landscape.CD is available at cdbaby.com. There you can hear clips from all twelve songs. It's well worth taking a listen!K. Osgood Blog

“Play to Win” features the unique vocal style of K. Osgood. Upon listening to this CD you will see that Ms. Osgood is not afraid to challenge conventional pop/rock styles, in delivering a unique style not only in terms of her soft and at times, falsetto, vocal style, but also in the instrumentation and production of the CD. The reverberated vocal production and soft instrumentation provide a mysterious element to the tracks of this CD. The lyrics are creative and sensitive showing a clear depth of feeling and strong emotion. "Give it Up" is one of our favorite tracks, with a strong loose snare groove that feature some interesting guitar and keyboard sounds, and a cathcy harmonized chorus. There is an interesting and clear, spoken and sung selection called “Sleep to Dream” that is a very good representation of this artists talents with clear and articulate verbalization. The final track, “Crazy Day,” conclude the CD in a very update and positive note. This CD is full of variety, emotion, and creativity, and is worth your attention to hear the innovative work of a creative artist. -L. Plumier and the RadioIndy Reviewer Team Check out K.
