About Me

You CAN have your Kate and Edith, too!

An acoustic trio, Kate and Edith are proudly rooted in the folk traditions of Appalachian mountain ballads, classic blues and bluegrass; performing rousing original and traditional tunes that combine the spirited atmospheres, longing melodies, driving rhythms and layered harmonies that are so deeply embedded in the roots of these traditions. Weaving a soulful synergy on stage, their captivating vocal and instrumental arrangements culminate in a sound that is at once reminiscent and distinct.
One day in February 2006, Julia, Joe and Lindsay played together for the first time in a little hotel room in Austin, Texas. Charlie (the host of their guerilla showcase room) got extremely excited, said he had never heard anything like it, recorded them on his little tape player and told them "He smelled money!" Julia, Joe and Lindsay, sensing a union that was sure to reap great music and merriment, formed Kate and Edith and haven't heard from Charlie since that fateful night. and that's ok.
These songs were recorded live at Kelso Hall, a desanctified church in Elgin, QC on June 23rd 2006.
Kate and Edith are hoping to record a studio album in the winter.
