Throughout her career, Cathy has also been involved in music from a young age.

She has been a long-time fan of rock and roll, and has worked with many musicians over the years. In 2014, Cathy returned to her roots and her first passion: singing. She signed on to take over female lead vocals with Daisy Train, a dynamic country/rock act, and Superhero, a high energy variety dance/pop/rock band. Both bands are currently performing corporate/private and public shows at various venues. Daisy Train was a featured act for the 2015 Superbowl Fanfest in Phoenix, which drew over 80,000 people, as well as an opening act for the Live Nation VIP club at concerts for artists such as Alan Jackson and Dierks Bentley. The band was voted #3 on the “Top Ten Country Western Nights” list by the New Times. Superhero is a popular nationally touring corporate event band and a featured act for the Party on the Plaza at multiple Phoenix Suns NBA games, Casino Arizona, Talking Stick and many festivals and events in the Southwest.
Currently, Cathy continues to perform as a singer, host, interviewer, actor and spokesperson, and is launching a new project with us here at Brickhouse.TV and BLK Live that combines both her love of music and her passion for on-camera interviewing and reporting.
