Soul Anthems by Katrina Kadoski
Katrina Kadoski’s latest recording,
“‘Soul Anthems,’ uses the theme of fire as a metaphor for the paradigm shift when one commits to the voice of their soul. A soundtrack for the transformation we are in, both personally and collectively. Written from very personal experiences and feelings while navigating life, the pandemic and musically documenting the process.
Soul Anthems was recorded at the Woodshop Recording Studio, in Duncan B.C., with producer Zak Cohen. A career development grant from Creative BC was awarded to help fund the process and studio musicians. Katrina Kadoski (songwriting, vocals, guitars, banjo, harmony parts) Louis Rudner (bass,) Alex Campbell (drums,) Thomas Kinzle (keyboards,) Adrian Dolan (fiddle,) and Zak Cohen on guitar, percussion and harmonies, and Megan Boddy (band-mate from former group Honeygirl) Jayne Walling, Steve Mullen, Rachael Gurevitch, Scott & Jen Smith and Ray Grieves also contributed harmony vocals.
“This was the first time getting a Creative BC recording grant, and so I was super excited to be recognized by my professional peers in this way, but also, super nervous to make sure everything was up to par, the process of making this record challenged me on every level and as a result kicked things up a notch.”
Four elemental albums have now been recorded, “Dreamtime,”(Air) 2016, “After the Shipwreck,“ (Water), 2020, “The Edgedwellers,” (Earth) 2022, and now “Soul Anthems.”(fire) 2023. The last 3 were completed during the pandemic, but not officially released due to the state of the music industry at the time.
