Biography
Kacy Crowley, the hippie chick and rock & roller, moved at her own deliberate pace toward a career in music. During the opening years of the 1990s she traveled from Los Angeles to New York, where her high-energy, intensely personal folk ballads filled hushed coffee houses night after night. She next settled in Austin, TX, performing repeatedly on the celebrated Sixth Street strip that serves as the city’s musical heart. There the East Coast-born and raised singer rediscovered her own songwriting voice amid the relaxed local atmosphere, drawing on the input and backing of many area players. Her fusion of easygoing lyricism with rock & roll aggression soon earned her a firm standing throughout the music-focused community, and her profile steadily climbed. Atlantic issued her debut full-length album, Hand to Mouthville, in 1997; the record featured contributions from her Austin-based musician friends. Critics responded with only mild enthusiasm.
