Catie Curtis (born 1965) is an American singer-songwriter.

She was raised in the small city of Saco, Maine, and played her first performances there. She was originally a drummer, but later changed instruments to acoustic guitar.

After leaving Saco, she went to Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. While at college, she became involved in the local coffeehouse circuit. At the same time, Curtis worked as a waitress and social worker while continuing to write and perform.

She moved to Boston, Massachusetts in the early 1990s, after deciding to make a career out of music. She and her partner are married and have two adopted daughters.

Curtis has toured extensively in North America in support of her albums, including playing at several festivals, such as the Newport Folk Festival. She has also supported, among others, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Dar Williams, Girlyman and Bonnie Raitt. She also played on the final Lilith Fair tour.

Her songs have featured in Alias, Dawson’s Creek, Felicity and Chicago Hope, as well as in several independent films. She won the Best Album Award from the Gay and Lesbian American Music Awards for her self-titled 1997 album. In 2006, she and Mark Erelli won the Grand Prize in the International Songwriting Competition for their song People Look Around, a song written in response to the hurricane Katrina disaster.

A film documentary on Curtis, entitled Tangled Stories, has been directed by Robert Millis. An interview with her is also featured on his current affairs program, American Microphone.

Have such a crush on her. Not something I frequently admit, but, hey. Why not? Anyway, Jane is such an amazing song. I'm surrounded by people who are going through that whole first girlfriend thing, and that is exactly what it is like to the outside observer who knows exactly, eeriely, what that is like.

Hey, has anyone heard of the Catie Curtis track If I could? Apparently it's off the original release of From Years To House but it's not on the re-release. I've literally been looking for this song for a few years now and can't find it, even on CD. If someone could help me out at all by messaging me or something, I'd be extremely grateful..
