DATE CHANGE- PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 6TH AND CHANGED TO OCTOBER 25TH.

Kate McCann is a folk singer and banjo player based in Midcoast Maine.  Playing both original and traditional music, Kate draws from her time spent immersed in old-time, Irish, and maritime folk music traditions.  Through her arrangements of traditional songs and original compositions she explores how traditional music exists in the contemporary world not as a static artifact of the past but as an active practice that both the musician and audience can engage with. Her first EP “Sea Songs,” was released during the summer of 2023 and pulls from the maritime music tradition she became deeply familiar with after spending a year working as a chanteyman at the Mystic Seaport Museum.  The EP’s first single “Bone Dry,” was winner of the 2023 Maine Songwriters Association Songwriting Contest.  With a sound comparable to classic troubadours such as Joan Baez and Peggy Seeger but with contemporary flair and distinct New England roots, Kate is excited to continue creating material that straddles the line between old and new.
