KATE WOOD

About Me

Kate Wood is a Contemporary Music artist in her own right. She loves to do music that covers a lot of turf. Recently, she's been digging deeper for words that are showing more vulnerability and honesty. She's been experimenting with new writing styles. Kate is looking at reaching a larger audience. She doesn't want to just preach to the choir, if you know what I mean.Kate loves playing the acoustic guitar and also the drums. Her voice isn't the diva type, but people have found enjoyment in the sweet, non-overpowering sound. It's pure, clean, and not like anything else you'll hear on the radio. She's an individual who marches to the beat of her own drum when she does her music, and her goal is to continue to write music and lyrics that are to the best of her ability, yet still touch lives. She wants to have music and lyrics that are above average, and the best she can put out. Kate hopes that will come out in her next recordings.Recently, Kate has been doing a lot more live events, ranging from social events to nursing homes and churches, to local restaurant bars and lounges, coffee houses, to private shows at smaller venues. She has made appearances twice at Grampian Days, the Clearfield Women's Club dinner, and the Smokehouse in Curwensville at an invitation only private concert.Kate is looking to play more shows in the State College area and to head back into the studio to record an EPWritten by Kristen J
