About the midnight anthem
The Midnight Anthem is a musical trio from New England, made up of Catherine, Sophia & Grace...cousins by birth, but sisters at heart. The group has an uncanny knack for creating music that is both fun to listen to and touches the soul.
Music is a family tradition for The Midnight Anthem. Much of their childhood was spent with their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles & 19 cousins performing and celebrating America’s history at fife & drum musters in Connecticut & New York.
The ladies have continued the family tradition with The Midnight Anthem. Their rhythm section is made up of Cat & Sophia's brother, Ian on bass (aka "BassBro") and Grace's dad, Dominick on drums (aka "DrumDad"). You can also find Cat & Sophia's dad, Jason (SoundDad) & mom, Deb (MusicMomma) behind the sound board at most gigs! While you may no always see Grace’s Mom, Therese (MusicMomma) at shows, she works hard behind the scenes using her skills of hospitality to make sure we are all fed and taken care of at practices and before performances!
They have now teamed up as a country inspired/americana group, creating and performing for audiences in the northeast and beyond. 2022 has seen them perform over 70 gigs in 7 states, and in two years of existence they have booked over 150 shows. Recent appearances include bars, breweries, camps, celebrations, churches, coffee houses, convention centers, fairs, farms, fundraisers, museums, music festivals, podcasts, private parties, radio stations, restaurants, summer concert series, town greens, TV and more.
The Midnight Anthem’s music is an entertaining blend of original songs and popular tunes with a country flair and they have been compared to a wide range of performers from yesteryear such as America, The Cranberries, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, and Simon & Garfunkle. They have also been influenced by Glen Campbell, Johnny Cash, Carol King, Dolly Parton & James Taylor, as well as twenty-first century artists including Miranda Lambert, Lady Antebellum, Halsey, Luke Bryan, Maren Morris, Paramore, Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift.
A message From The Ladies
Hi there! We are Cat, Sophia, and Grace, otherwise known as The Midnight Anthem! The last couple years have been an incredible roller coaster of writing, traveling, and performing. To give you a little background, Cat and Sophia are sisters and Grace is their cousin, all three born within a year of each other and truly best friends since birth.
We’ve been singing together our entire lives. Living an hour away from each other, we had lots of long car rides back and forth to sing along to our favorite music, and eventually learn to harmonize. At a young age, we began writing songs after discovering a love for Taylor Swift and learning what it meant to be a songwriter. In our early teen years, we picked up guitar and piano to begin putting music behind the lyrics we were so proud of. Every time we had a family function, we would grab our guitars, find a quiet corner and play each other the new songs we had written.
We spent many late nights FaceTiming with our lyrics on a shared GoogleDoc to write songs together about our own lives, things we learned from the people around us, and even history that inspired us in some way. We found that the best way for us to express our feelings on a matter, whether happy, sad, confused, hopeful, hopeless, heartbroken, or in love, was through telling stories with the songs we wrote.
