Catherine Tuttle is a 19-year-old singer/songwriter from Philadelphia, now attending college as a freshman at Harvard.  A true artist, she not only is a creative pianist, but also an accomplished painter and actress.  She recently began playing guitar and bass as well.  By the age of 13, the songwriting Muse inspired her to begin writing songs.  On her 16th birthday, Catherine's parents surprised her with a gift of studio time that proved to be the genesis of her budding career.  During these initial recording sessions, Glenn Barratt of Morning Star Studios recognized her talent and encouraged her to record more songs that would form the basis of her fisrt album Peel.  

            During that same timeand while attending high school,  she began to play the coffeehouse circuit around Philadelphia, accompanying herself on piano.  As club bookers and audiences realized the extent of her talent, she began playing some of the best venues in the area, opening or sharing the bill with such artists as Phil Roy, Jeffrey Gaines, Grey Eye Glances and Amos Lee.  Meanwhile, she also began to get some air play on local Triple A radio station WXPN where she was twice chosen as Philly local pick ...
