Bio
Kate Steele lives in Victoria, BC. She spent her childhood in a handful of small towns in Saskatchewan. She has also lived, worked, studied and performed in the U.S. midwest, an island off the south coast of Japan and the Middle East. It’s possible to see all of these places and the people Kate’s met in the songs of her debut album, Curve of the Earth. Saskatchewan’s landscape plays powerfully in Kate’s lyrics and music and she maintains close ties with her family there. In BC, reviewers and fans have picked up on her small town roots, noting a warmth and a lack of pretension in both her music and in her shows. Kate’s musical influences include Gillian Welch, Joni Mitchell, Ron Sexsmith, Sarah Harmer and Bob Dylan. Her attention to lyrics developed in part through her appreciation of these songwriters and through her study of writing in university.
