Kiss Me Once: Stories From the Homefront

Vocal soloist + piano with video

“Kiss Me Once: Stories from the Homefront” immortalizes the brave men and women of ‘The Greatest Generation’ in a celebration of the songs that inspired them to greatness. Kathy draws a deeply personal narrative from her own interviews with veterans about their wartime experiences and their their lives as young women and men on the Homefront. Their stories come alive through Kathy’s insightful storytelling and some of the greatest songs ever written.

Kathy brings the music of wartime back to vital life in a story that celebrates resiliency and offers hope to all who are struggling to survive.

 

“Add Kathy Kaefer’s name to the bearers of the torch of Great American songs…her rendition of standards like When I Grow Too Old to Dream…are delicate, subtle essays that convey a message of inner depth that are both persuasive and stunning.”  – John Hoglund, Backstage Magazine
