FAST QUIZ...LET'S ROCK!

 Kate Lynne Logan

1. When did you know music was your way of life?
I've always been an artist. I drew and painted as a kid; I still do. I started getting into music around 12 or 13. I picked up a guitar at 15 and haven't been the same since! I always wanted to play and be in a band. When a teacher asked me what I wanted to do for a living, I told him I wanted to be a songwriter.

2. Which record changed your life?
I listened to Jackson Browne's 'I'm Alive' (1993) on repeat for years. It's just beautiful. I also loved old country music artists, like Dolly Parton. But I have to say it was Brandi Carlile's album 'Give up the Ghost' (2009) that affected me most, because after I saw her perform those songs live, it changed my life. It inspired me to release my first cd a year later, 'Love You Still' (2011).

3. When you were a girl, who was your hero?
When I was little, my hero was my mom! She is very kind and generous and creative. She would write poems and draw pictures for me.

4. If you had a time machine, where would you travel? For what?
If I had a time machine, I'd probably travel back to when my favorite artists were just learning how to play guitar and sing!

 5. What is your favorite book and the reason?
I guess I'd have to say Mary Oliver's books. Her writing is beautiful and inspiring. 

6. How many guitars do you have at home? What's your favorite one?
I have 2 acoustic guitars. One is for busking (playing on the street) and the other is for everything else. My performance guitar is a Martin. It sounds incredible and I write all my songs on it. It's definitely my favorite.

7. What song in all of time do you wish you had written?
Super hard question! I guess I won't think too hard about it. I'll just go with what I've been listening to lately, which is The Milk Carton Kids. They wrote a song called 'Michigan.' It's absolutely fantastic. 

8. When you drive, what music is in your car?
I have a few cds on rotation right now. Some local artists and friends: Matt Brown (http://www.mattbrownsongs.com/) and Adena Atkins (www.adenaatkins.com). Also a greatest hits album by Bob Dylan. And Brandi Carlile's new album, 'Bear Creek.' (www.brandicarlile.com)

9. What's your favorite film? Favorite actor/actress?
Tough question! I have a lot of favorites. I love the movie 'That Thing You Do.' And my favorite actress is probably Rachel Weiss or Kate Winslet.

10. In which country do you hope to play someday?
My mom is from Ireland, so I hope I get to play there someday. But I hope I get to play all over the world!
