Kate Voegele wants to be friends with her fans.
The pop-rock musician and "One Tree Hill" actress, 22, keeps them up-to-date via the Web. She has a MySpace page (Interscope's MySpace Records released her CD "A Fine Mess," in May) and maintains a blog at katevoegele.com. And on Twitter, she relates to fans more like a person than a product.
One tweet reads: "Annapolis is one of my new favorite cities EVER...had some serious crabcakes and ice cream last night." Voegele performs Friday night at Rash Field with Uncle Kracker and Bel Air native Julienne Irwin, 16, an "America's Got Talent" finalist. In a recent phone conversation, Voegele's Midwestern charm and effervescent personality thwarted any sense of burgeoning celebrity.
Question: Which do you prefer? Performing music or acting?
Answer: They're both creative challenges for me, but I'll always be a musician. I can't imagine my life without it. Acting's been fun, because it's new. My role on "One Tree Hill's" been my first real acting gig, aside from my high school musical. It was "Once Upon a Mattress," and I was in the chorus.
