Watch them do a six-song acoustic set of brand-new stuff from Nothing Personal and your original favorites from So Wrong, It's Right, including "Damned If I Do Ya, Damned If I Don't," "Dear Maria Count Me In," "Jasey Rae," "Weightless," "Coffee Shop Soundtrack," "Remembering Sunday," featuring Kate Voegele. Bonus: bongo action, tambourine, and a guitar in a bird cage.

If you already know Kate Voegele, it may be as One Tree Hill's resident crooner, Mia. The attitude-spewing pop-rock chick just completed her second season playing her own songs on the show and is excited to announce that there's another season coming up!

But that's not Kate Voegele's most exciting news by a long shot. She's far more fired up about the release of her second album, A Fine Mess -- particularly about fiery lead single, "99 Times." As she puts it in the latest episode of "The 5," "It's my favorite song on the record. I look forward to singing it most on stage every night."

Watch the rest of our exclusive Kate Voegele interview to get the inside track on her life on the road, including her nine male roommates, the "frat house on wheels" (did that inspire the title, A Fine Mess???) and her not-so-secret Bloomingdale's fetish.

+ Plus: Kate Voegele relives her prom night!

Singer-songwriter Kate Voegele's prom was so perfect that it almost sounds lifted from a TV script... say, the script of One Tree Hill, perhaps? A show she starred on with... Kevin Federline! But Kate Voegele's prom experience was even cooler than a cryogenically frozen K-Fed in a bathtub full of ice.

The dude who asked Kate to prom did it in the sweetest/ least cheesy way possible, and Kate's friends surprised when they had the DJ play her music at the end of the dance. I mean, could you just temporarily DIE of cuteness? I could.

Watch Kate tell her prom tale in her trademark breathless/bubbly style, check out more celebrity prom videos, and if you haven't heard it yet, you MUST listen to her new album, A Fine Mess. We've got it on on repeat at Camp Buzzworthy.

Singer-songwriter Kate Voegele's new video, "Only Fooling Myself" -- a cut-and-paste confessional collage -- is part HP commercial, part Urban Outfitters catalog. But the only thing she's selling is honesty, along with a great hook.If you haven't been following the 21-year-old since her first two albums, then you either know her as one of MySpace Records' biggest stars or from her guest spot alongside Kevin Federline and Hilarie Burton on One Tree Hill earlier this year. But she's about to take up permanent residence in your iPod.

Check out Kate Voegele's new video, "Only Fooling Myself" -- directed by Phil Griffin, who directed a handful of Amy Winehouse's videos, including "Rehab" -- and read our exclusive interview with the rising star.

After releasing her debut album, Don't Look Away, to little fanfare, Kate Voegele gave her career a much needed boost by appearing on One Tree Hill ... particularly because she played a keyboardist in a band fronted by Kevin Federline while the whole three-ring circus of a pre-medicated Britney Spears was in full swing. And when K-Fed's stint ended, Kate slipped into a recurring role that allowed her to showcase some of her songs.

It's been a year since her album was released, and it looks like things are finally picking up for Miss Kate -- she just released her first official single, "Only Fooling Myself," and she's currently on the road with Hanson and will jump on tour with Natasha Bedingfield at the end of May.

We sat down with the singer/songwriter to get the inside scoop on working with Britney's ex and the story behind her new video. Read what she had to say and then check out some exclusive pics here.

Buzzworthy: Being on One Tree Hill really breathed life into your debut album...

Kate Voegele: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I knew that going on One Tree Hill was going to be an incredible vehicle for the record. What is amazing about it is that my role on the show is, you know, basically playing a musician, and all the songs she plays are off my record. You never know how people are going to respond, but they have received it so well and it's translated into ticket sales and record sales. It's been more than I ever hoped it would be.

BW: What was it like working with Kevin Federline?

KV: I was secretly pumped 'cause I, like, live for good stories and for experiences that I can laugh about for the rest of time. I had a feeling this was going to be one of them, you know? So, it was great. He really surprised me because he was a really down-to-earth guy. He was really easy to make conversation with and he was cool with everybody -- there wasn't any ego or anything there. That's refreshing because, I mean, the dude is, like, all over the place in the press and whatever. He's a great guy and we all had fun together. It was cool.
