Singer-songwriter, acoustic guitarist, and classical pianist, Cate Kanell crafts music of honest, emotive beauty. Her debut full length album “Sleep to the Knowing” showcases elegant, autobiographical songs with soothing vocals and sparkling instrumentation. Ranging from stark and subtle to lush and powerful, Cate’s songs speak largely of love and its many shades of grey. Cate began to develop a loyal following in the early 2000’s when her self-recorded EP “One Truth” climbed to the top of Mp3.com’s acoustic charts and became Mp3.com’s number two top selling album. She spent her college years performing in the subways, streets, and cafes of Boston, and recording in her dorm rooms as well as Avatar Studios and The Hit Factory in Manhattan. In 2002 Cate and ten other artists from around the world were handpicked among hundreds to attend an exclusive songwriting workshop led by the esteemed Lori Carson. Cate penned her debut full length album “Sleep to the Knowing” over the following five years in both Boston and Oxford, England. She has expanded her sound while maintaining the sweet vulnerability and delicate strength that has characterized her music from the start. Read more on Last.fm.
