Guitarist Catherine Delgadillo began playing and writing on the guitar at the age of 9. Being primarily self-taught, Catherine has developed a love for playing guitar, singing, playing keyboards and writing music. In 1989, Catherine joined forces with three guys also located in the Bay Area and formed the hard rock band Charade. As frontlady for the band, Catherine played guitar, sang vocals and was a contributing songwriter. Charade played many of the clubs throughout the Bay Area and opened for acts such as Gary Richrath (ex-R.E.O. Speedwagon) and Foghat. A few years later, Catherine decided to leave the band and shift her focus towards incorporating other styles of music in her playing and as a solo artist. Catherine's playing ability and style has evolved into a unique style of progressive rock and fusion which is the driving force behind her debut solo instrumental CD, Paradise Swamp.
