Description

Join us for an intimate, solo evening with heart-worn sleeve storyteller and songwriter Kate Redgate as we celebrate the release of her upcoming record “Light Under The Door” (Rum Bar Records). Life will take a swing at you, and sometimes it pulls a knife. Light Under The Door is Kate stepping toward it with a roll of pennies tucked in her fist. — Jon Nolan, Producer JUST A GIRL, A GUITAR, and a lifetime of stories put into song. Kate Redgate’s music is a mixture of rock and roll, folk, roots-rock and country. The result of a high school dropout using time well spent absorbing her early influences: the ones she heard as a kid on the loudspeakers at the Illinois Boots and Saddle Club, the ones she saved money and hitched rides to buy recordings of at the local record store, and the ones she waited to hear on the radio, cassette recorder button ready, so she could rewind and playback songs over and over learning chords and writing down lyrics. The Stones and the Grateful Dead, X and the Replacements, Pretenders and Joni Mitchell, Steve Earle and Emmylou Harris… You get the drift. After some years in the dark, Kate is re-emerging into the New England music scene and beyond with a suitcase of new songs and new energy.
