About Ian Cat
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
My earliest musical memory is hearing The Doors' old Greatest Hits cassette. The music always drew vivid images in my mind, and still does. "Riders on the Storm" was my favorite, with that tremendously creepy but cool groove. I still love that music.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Bob Dylan, Blood On the Tracks
Miles Davis, Bitches Brew
Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here
In so many ways, I feel like these three albums are ultimately representative as pinnacles of my musical interests. They might be my top three albums ever, certainly my favorites of each artist. All three of these have had enormous impact on me.

“Blue and Green (For Kayleigh)”
I dedicated this piece to my wife, as it developed over time it made sense to me. All the music on Paint the Stars Tonight was inspired by our experiences on Lake Ontario and the peace we find there. The only piece featuring two guitars, it's hers.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
Though my musical career has not featured any huge achievements yet, I'm still proud of what I've accomplished. Western Massachusetts' The Valley Advocate printed their review of my first album, East Coast New England Boy, which was cool to see.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
I would love to open for a popular headliner, or collaborate with one on a record. Doesn't have to be a huge name, but I'd love to work with more established musicians and see what we can make together.
