Kathy turns 60 (the new 40) years old today!

The lovely and talented Kathy LaBella was the guest of honor at a surprise 60th birthday/retirement party yesterday. One of the event's highlights was a performance by the legendary minstrel, Chris Dubose (below), who offered a newly-penned composition just for her. The performance was captured on video.



A history of folk icons: Chris Dubose

Hailing from the Daily Grind coffee house in Medway, MA, Chris Dubose rose to the top of the folk scene in 2000 with his debut album, Speak English, Talk Smack. The troubador's latest album, Retired 'N Confused, merges Chris Dubose's hushed hooks with countrified piano flourishes to somehow churn out simply beautiful music. With standout tracks like "Kath's on the Run," look for Chris Dubose to be a major force in the folk landscape for years to come.
