‘Possessing an extraordinary voice which is at once captivating and disarming.’ Music Week
‘Planetary motion seems momentarily suspended while she sings.’ Uncut
‘..her angelic voice and guileless charm make this album a breath of fresh air.’ The Guardian
‘A disarmingly natural talent..The missing link between Joni Mitchell
and Katherine Williams.’ Independent
‘It’s a wonderful record…Don’t miss it’ Daily Express
Kate Walsh, whose singular talent first emerged when she hit the top spot on iTunes as an unsigned artist, is set to release her album, ‘Tim’s House’ on her new label Mercury Records on October 1st and her single, ‘Your Song’ on October 1st.
The inspired singer/songwriter has carved out a unique niche with web listeners and portable music fans around the globe. Her direct but sweetly-delivered songs has resulted in her being one of the most talked about new artists in the business, thanks to the tremendous fan response generated by her album in the myspace/ipod d-i-y music movement. A classically trained pianist and accomplished guitarist, she has also been drawing comparisons to female songwriting giants such as Joni Mitchell. It is the kind of instantaneous emotional connection not even dreamed possible five years ago.
And in one of those strange quirks of fate, Kate’s track ‘Your Song’ was recently featured in the US spin-off to Grey’s Anatomy – Private Practice – featuring none other than her namesake and female lead of the show, American actress Kate Walsh.
Kate has been wowing festival goers over the summer at the likes of Cambridge Folk Festival, Secret Garden Party, Bestival and V Festival amongst others. She has just completed a UK tour with Richard Hawley and is now heading out on her own headline tour.
