A Lady Full of Dreams – Cathy Hamer – Interviewed on Fantastic Expedition

By WTJU Rock

Date: 07/17/2026

Time: 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

On this week’s Fantastic Expedition, DJ Baconfat will be speaking with local musician Cathy Hamer (now Cathy Bollinger) about Lady Full Of Dreams, a new archival project culled from two extremely rare private press LPs released in 1979 and 1980. Tune in on 91.1 FM, stream worldwide at wtju.net, or listen via the WTJU mobile app.

Cathy’s heartfelt singer-songwriter confessionals delve deep into the spirit of a young woman on the cusp of adulthood, dealing with big dreams, heartbreaking loss, and a crush on Jackson Browne. Stories behind her songs and the warm reception the material is receiving now will be covered.

Cathy’s daughter Kate Bollinger has taken the mantle up from her mother, with a successful foray into indie music, representing Charlottesville and her mother proudly on stages across the country.
