Cathy Ponton King

Cathy Ponton King, a female vocalist and guitarist and 20-year veteran of the blues and bar scene in and around Washington DC, and Baltimore, has teamed with long time musician friends to create a fresh slate of compositions that affectionately embrace the blues and balladry. She plays Telecaster guitar, blues, original music, jazzy blues, ‘Nawlin’s music and swing, rock ‘n roll/rhythm and blues and sweet ballads. She was born in Washington DC and attended the University of Md. and earned her degree in Journalism, and subsequently worked at ABC news after college, before making the decision to put journalism on the back burner as the call to sing, write and perform music was overwhelming.
