Kate Callahan w/Special Guests the KC Sisters
Awarded Best Singer-Songwriter of 2013 at the CT Music Awards and a nominee for Best Songwriter in New England 2014, American Singer/Songwriter Kate Callahan’s lyrics have been called “Zen-like” by folk legend Noel Paul Stookey (Peter, Paul, and Mary).
WNPR host Colin McEnroe says “…she swings out and away from influences, where startling music is made...” Callahan’s optimism and joy roll easily from her songs to her stage stories. She has traveled the U.S performing, and opened shows for legends Judy Collins, Noel Paul Stookey, the duo Aztec-Two-Step, John Gorka, the late Bill Morrissey.
Two Doors, Kate's third LP, was released in 2012. The Hartford Courant says, "[Callahan] simply wanted to explore some of the 'startling and awe-inspiring moments we face in a lifetime.' But there's nothing quite that simple about Callahan or the music she makes."
An award-winning singer who rose from a calamitous injury to claim her creative life... "
-The Boston Globe
"Kate Callahan is the only performer I've ever seen who occasionally seems to be channeling something vaster and far more ancient than herself..."
-Colin McEnroe, WNPR
"...West Hartford's great, graceful gift to the folk music world."
- Owen McNally, Hartford Courant
