ABOUT

Kate MacLeod is a compelling performer, songwriter, studio musician, and leader of master classes on fiddling and songwriting. Her original songs, arising from her own experiences, or based on historical events and novels, are heartfelt and striking renderings of the human condition. Kate's live performance demonstrates an unbroken link between traditional music and cutting-edge, contemporary songwriting. Her singing, guitar-playing, fiddling and songwriting catch the ears of new artists, bluegrass and celtic musicians, and diverse songwriters. Her songs have been recorded by artists from California to the Czech Republic. Kate's five studio recordings are distributed by Waterbug Records and Wind River from Folk Era. Her songs can be heard sung by others on recordings and festival stages, but the best way to hear her music is from Kate herself.
