Bio
Long-time Rhode Island resident Kate Mick has been strumming her banjo and writing songs for over 15 years. In 2019, she released her sophomore album Sugar in Your Teeth with "bright vocals, brilliantly contradicting melancholic lyrics" - Angela Marandola (for WhatsUpRI). Her first album, Undertow, omits ..."dark gothic folk with a soulful bluesy slant." - Chris Daltry (The Cut-Up Music Zine- CT). Kate is inspired by and has been compared to Hedy West, Karen Dalton, Cat Power, and First Aid Kit. She enjoys covering The Breeders, MJ Lenderman, Wilco, and Beck, among others. Mick has most recently been collaborating more with other musicians who join her during most of her performances. She has also been interweaving electric guitar into her sets, drifting slightly away from folk into noisier, dreamier, ambient rock while still maintaining her folk roots. You can listen and watch the music video to her most recent release, "Surgery", which reflects this musical shift.
