high energy song about flying and shares a quirky waltz written
for a set of dancing silverware. Kate balances humor and
intensity with remarkable ease.
Her second album, “The Greatest of Ease” (Rarity Records, 2003)
marks her achievement as a guitarist and songwriter. With
immediate accolades from folk legend Noel Paul Stookey (Peter,
Paul & Mary) and acceptance into The Falcon Ridge Folk
Festival’s emerging artists showcase and The International
Festival of Arts and Ideas, “Ease” is setting the scene for
Kate’s growing popularity. More info at
