Mingling Americana and jam band sensibilities with the Folk traditions of the '60s and '70s, Kate Gaffney brings honest vulnerability and poetic grace to songs that groove with funk & soul. Kate honed her skills in her native Philadelphia and toured from coast to coast, laying musical roots in Northern California before returning home to Pennsylvania. Kate has opened for touring acts like Richie Havens, Todd Snider, and Sophie B. Hawkins, and has released four albums: most recently, Here by the Ocean, a collaboration with longtime Philly friends Andrew Lipke and Chris Kasper.
