If the Moon made music, she would sing story-songs like these: mythic, personal, far-sighted. Silvery voice, shimmering piano, and starry support from bass, cello, bodhrán, Irish flute, whistle, and a whisper of harp.
Bio / Background
About the Songs
Kate thinks of the songs as "story songs" because nearly all of them are grounded in myth and folktale. Here we find a compassionate Medusa alongside an oracular taxi-driver. Here we encounter Emily Dickinson, Captain Vanderdecken, and Odysseus on his long journey home. Many of the songs flow from the sea where Kate grew up and where her father has spent his working life as a lobsterman. One of them is a setting of Yeats' beautiful poem, "The Song of Wandering Aengus," a poem which is rooted in an early Irish tale but which expresses a longing and mystery familiar to all of us.
About the Style
A Jabberwocky of styles: medieval troubador meets jazzwoman meets folkie meets siren. People tell Kate her singing reminds them of Joni, Loreena MacKennit, Sarah MacLachlan, and Carol King. Her piano playing - rhythmic and evocative - has been compared to the playing of Bruce Hornsby and Roy Bittan.
