"There are performers - very few - who so transform themselves into the music that the stories they tell become part of you... Kath Bloom does more than sing. Her voice is a call of reckoning. An accounting, at the moment of the song, of her life and of those with which it intersects."
- Nat Hentoff (1982)

We got to see Kath Bloom perform her songs for the first time last year when we both played the same festival in Chicago, and those classic Nat Hentoff liner notes are accurate! Standing at the side of the stage with Haley Fohr (Circuit des Yeux), the three of us never stopped grinning except when we might have been crying.

We are very happy to be playing three upcoming shows with Kath Bloom in Brooklyn NY, Kingston NY, and on her home turf of New Haven CT. Come out and see this very unique artist!
