Kate MacLeod

ARTIST BIO

Neo-Traditional musician, Kate MacLeod, defines Americana with her original music. Her songs are courageously honest and eclectic, while her instrumental music can be both atmospheric and driven. What kind of music is this? Why, it’s a blend of all that Kate loves, and the path of a true artist. Kate brings music to you through her original songs, fiddle instrumentals, and creative renditions of traditional and popular music. As stated by SingOut! Magazine, she “channels the spirit of the great Carter Family classics.” Yet, she also sounds like she has been drinking from the fountain of youth. Kate plays fiddle, guitar, and Appalachian mountain dulcimer, and performs primarily with a 3-6 piece band of accompanying musicians. Since her first recording (produced by Charles Sawtelle of Hot Rize) her songs have been recorded by other musicians from California to the Czech Republic. Performing artists such as Grammy-winning Bluegrass musician Laurie Lewis, and Mollie O’Brien, sing her songs regularly, and Tim O’Brien produced her Blooming recording with an all-star band including Tim, Darrell Scott, Byron House, and the late Kenny Malone. Kate has toured in the United States, Canada, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Italy, and the UK. She was chosen for the Best of the West Award, 2019, by the Far-West division of the Folk Alliance International. In addition to her Americana music, her original instrumental pieces are well suited for film soundtracks and have been used in a variety of documentaries. Her current projects include recording new renditions of songs by the American folk musician, Kentucky-born Jean Ritchie. Kate resides in both Salt Lake City, UT, and Harpers Ferry, WV.
