In 2003, one of Kitchell's earliest songs won two Student Music Awards sponsored by DownBeat magazine, and Kitchell was accepted into a workshop for young jazz composers sponsored by the Kennedy Center. Signed to the eclectic AAA indie Velour Records (who roster also featured Dar Williams and Soulive), Kitchell released her debut EP, Cold Day, in 2005, with production by Suzanne Vega collaborator Steve Addabbo. Addabbo returned for Kitchell's full-length debut, Words Came Back to Me, which was released in the spring of 2006; a sponsorship deal with Starbucks' Hear Music label also brought the CD into coffee shops around the globe. Kitchell continued to hone her craft by playing live shows, including a multi-month run with Herbie Hancock, before returning in 2008 with the sophomore effort This Storm. ~ Stewart Mason, Rovi
