KUTX’s doors are always open to local talent, including Bluebonnet’s guitarist/vocalist Kathy Valentine. After years with a number of different acts; including The Go-Go’s, The Textones and The Violaters, Valentine’s talent has landed her and The Bluebonnents among Austin’s royalty. The band’s bluesy-rock sound shines in their latest record, Play Loud, a follow up to thier 2010 release Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom. The all-girl band packs in gutsy rock-n-roll and soulful melodies, and in lieu of the album releasing this week, Kathy Valentine was gracious enough to stop by KUTX to play some of her most inspirational tunes.
