About this user
Just out of college, Washington, DC-native Kacey Cubero moved to San Diego, California with a suitcase and a guitar, and soon became the front person for a local band opening for such national acts as The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Her first album was critically well-received, generating both mentors as well as opportunities.
A prolific songwriter, performer, and studio musician, Kacey has collaborated with an array of eminent singers and songwriters, including Jackson Browne, Louis Johnson, and Gary Scruggs. Her songs have been used in some well-known, independent films, such as Hey Mrs. Stu and Silver Dollars.
Singer Magazine has twice named Kacey Indie Artist of the Year. Her latest CD, Diamond in The Rough, includes a guest appearance by Leo Sayer, and displays Kacey's remarkable songwriting, arranging, and producing skills. Following a solo tour to promote Diamond in The Rough, Kacey joined other artists on a Hard Rock Cafe tour, across the U.S. to benefit underprivileged children, and ventured out on yet another solo tour to support the U.S. troops in Japan. Around the same time, Kacey found herself fronting the all-star IRS Band, as lead singer. Included in the band were Chris Slade (AC/DC, The Firm), Joe Molland (Badfinger), Greg Douglass (Steve Miller Band, Van Morrison), Mario Cippolina (Foreigner, Huey Lewis) and Terry Ilous (Xyz).
In 2006, Kacey represented the Santa Barbara Blues Society in the International Blues Competition in Memphis. She contentedly continues to tour, write, perform and collaborate in creating her own soulful, americana sound. Music, it has been said, is a language unto itself, and Kacey writes and speaks it fluently and beautifully.
