CASSE CULVER
Lesbian/feminist, Casse Culver, has been writing and singing her own material since 1963. Her career began as a streetsinger in Washington, D.C. , and, in 1969 she was signed to a publishing and recording contract by Albert Grossman. Refusing to write top-40 material, Casse won a release from Bearsville Records in January and has since been free to present her music in her own way, void of veneer and flash.
Casse's material moves audiences from footstomping exhuberance to silent reflection, including everything from country music for city folks to love songs to women. Her music is strongly tied to her commitment to the women's movement as is especially clear in It Was Me, which was written during the mid-60's.
Casse toured the United States this summer playing for women's groups. Plans for the fall include opening a 4-track recording studio for women, cutting her own album, and of course concerts. The studio will be rented out by the day for practically the same fee commercial studios rent out for by the hour... $50. Inquiries are welcome. Contact: Casse Culver, 217 12th St, SE Washington, DC 20003, (202) 547-5878.
