About this Event
The Kate Hinote Trio is a contemporary and unique alt-folk ensemble featuring Kate Hinote on vocals, Matthew Parmenter on violin, and David Johnson on acoustic guitar. Known for the melodic interplay between voice and violin, as well creating dynamic and engaging indie-folk music, the Trio performs predominantly original material, while weaving in a handful of retro and modern covers to which they have applied their unique sound. The group leans into narrative-driven songwriting on their sophomore album, “Stowaways” (out June 2025), showcasing 10 new original songs that establish the signature sound they have passionately been delivering at live shows for over five years.
