Kate Campbell and John KirkKate Campbell
“Lauded by both the Farm Journal and NPR, Campbell’s music perches comfortably between country and folk…a distinctive talent” USA TODAY
Celebrated singer-songwriter KATE CAMPBELL writes and sings memorable songs infused with undercurrents of delta blues, folk, pop, and country that originate from a musical landscape spanning the less-travelled back roads from Nashville to Muscle Shoals to Memphis. She continues to resist the temptation to follow musical trends but instead chooses to set the pace for her unique, award-winning musical journey.
Her musical tastes were forged in the tampered, smoky fires of soul, R&B, Southern Rock, country and folk music. From deep within her Southern memories and music come poignant memories, whimsical characters, searing observations and powerfully universal truths.
Kate’s endearing, clear-water vocal delivery and her eloquent gift for storytelling have drawn repeated comparisons to such bastions of the Southern literary tradition as Flannery O’Connor, Eudora Welty, and William Faulkner. Her easy command of a full range of American musical styles has earned Campbell recognition as a formidable talent by critics.

JOHN KIRK
His richly lyric voice, humor, and versatile instrumental skills have earned him widespread admiration in folk and traditional music circles. On fiddle, mandolin, guitar, banjo, keyboard and ukulele, he performs a seemingly endless array of musical traditions. With his wife Trish Miller he performs as Quickstep; he has appeared with Pete Seeger, Tom Chapin, Kate Wolfe, John Sebastian & The Burns Sisters, among many others.
Most recently, John & Trish performed the music of the late Ukrainian-American folk performer and composer Peter Ostroushko in Ukraine, Ukraine!, 8th Step’s tribute to the war-torn country that brought together American and Ukrainian performers.
