How to Support Cathy Segal-Garcia and Access Her Press Kit

You can support Cathy Segal-Garcia in three direct ways shown on her site: become a Patron, buy her music (including physical CDs by email), and tune into her free Noontime Hang livestreams on Facebook and YouTube. Her press kit is a separate page linked from the site menu, and it's the fastest route to her bio and media quotes if you're writing about her or booking her.

Support Options at a Glance

Becoming a Patron

The homepage carries a BECOME A PATRON button, positioned alongside the Noontime Hang section. This is the site's recurring-support path — the page describes the hangs as something she does "for people," and patron support is presented as the way to back that ongoing output. The site does not publish patron tiers or pricing, so check the linked patron page for current levels and benefits before committing.

Buying Her Music

Every album on the homepage has its own LISTEN/BUY link, which takes you to the streaming or purchase page for that release. Current titles listed include:

• Social Anthems Volume 2 (Dash Hoffman Records) — described as songs speaking to tumultuous times, with updated jazz arrangements
• Cathy Segal-Garcia & Phillip Strange Live in Japan – 2022 — a 2-disc live recording from a December 1992 Japan tour
• 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

For physical CDs, the site gives one route: email Cathy directly through the "Email Cathy here to purchase physical CDs" link. There's no physical-CD checkout on the site itself, so expect to arrange payment and shipping by email reply. The site also links a VISIT MUSIC STORE → entry for browsing.

Joining the Noontime Hang

The Noontime Hang is a free live session where Cathy and special guests talk about "creativity & philosophy" — music, singing, playing, making CDs, life philosophies. According to the page:

• She's usually on once a week, often Mondays from noon to about 2:00 p.m.
• It streams simultaneously on Facebook Live (facebook.com/cathysegalgarcia) and YouTube Live (channel: Cathy Segal-Garcia)
• Viewers are invited to ask questions and make comments during the session
• An Upcoming hangs section lists what's next, and VIEW ARCHIVE holds past episodes if you miss one

Because the schedule is described as "usually" and "many times" rather than fixed, check the Upcoming hangs list or her Facebook/YouTube pages before planning to watch live.

Accessing the Press Kit

The PRESS KIT link on the site leads to her media materials. The homepage excerpt shows the kind of content it draws on — for example, a JW Vibe review by Jonathan Widran describing her as "a songwriter and vocal interpreter of uncommon emotional depth and intuitive lyrical insight" with a "multi-octave range." If you need her bio, press quotes, or promotional images for an article, program, or booking inquiry, the press kit is the intended starting point rather than the album pages.

Voice Lessons, Workshops, and CD Production

Beyond fan support, the site lists three professional services:

• Take Private Voice Lessons — one-on-one instruction
• Attend A Workshop — group sessions
• Have Cathy Produce Your CD — production services for your own recording

These are separate from the support options above; use the corresponding links on the homepage to inquire about availability and terms, since the site doesn't publish rates or schedules for them.
