What Is Cathy Segal Garcia's Website About?

Updated

cathysegalgarcia.com is the official website of Cathy Segal-Garcia, a jazz vocalist and vocal educator. It serves two audiences at once: listeners who want to explore her recordings and live streams, and singers who want to study with her or have her produce their music. If you arrived looking for either her music or her teaching, this is the right place.

Who Cathy Segal-Garcia Is

The site describes her as a "subtle and captivating retro-hippy jazz singer and experienced educator who teaches singers how to uncover their true voice." That pairing—performer and teacher—shapes everything on the page. Her recorded work sits alongside an active teaching practice, and the two feed each other.

What You'll Find on the Site

Music and recordings

The homepage leads with her newest release, Social Anthems Volume 2 on Dash Hoffman Records—a compilation of songs responding to current social and political times, delivered through updated jazz arrangements. Other featured albums include:

  • Cathy Segal-Garcia & Phillip Strange Live in Japan (2022) — a two-disc live recording from a December 1992 Japan tour with pianist Phillip Strange
  • Straight Ahead to the UK (2019) — standards, modern jazz compositions, and originals recorded in England and the U.S.
  • Dreamsville (2019) — a voice, piano, and guitar trio setting

Each entry has LISTEN/BUY and, for some, WATCH links. A press kit and music store are also linked from the page.

Live streams and community

She hosts a "Noontime Hang" on Facebook Live and YouTube Live, usually once a week—often Mondays from noon to about 2:00 p.m.—with special guests. The sessions are open conversations about music, singing, playing, making CDs, and life philosophy, and viewers are invited to ask questions and comment. An archive of past hangs is available, and there's a Patreon option for supporters.

Voice lessons, workshops, and production

For singers, the site lists three services:

  • Private voice lessons
  • Workshops
  • CD production — she produces albums for other vocalists

Practical Notes

Physical CDs can be purchased by emailing Cathy directly through the address listed on the site. The page mentions a "purchase" option but does not display prices, so you'll need to inquire or follow the store and listen/buy links for current details. The live streams are free to watch on Facebook and YouTube; Patreon is a separate optional support channel.
