Hathaways is a brother-sister duo from tiny Rossville, IL. Elder sibling Kate has been writing and performing since 2001, but after prodigiously-talented James revealed his ability to perfectly perform his sister's compositions, the two began to collaborate in earnest in 2006.
Since James had already developed into an accomplished guitar player, Kate was freed to incorporate another passion, the charango, into their instrumentation. Under the tutelage of mentor Tom Turino, Kate had learned to play this small, ten-stringed folk instrument of the Peruvian Andes while studying ethnomusicology at the University of Illinois. Between the unique and beautiful texture of the charango, James' skillful acoustic guitar work, and the interplay of rich male-female vocal harmonies, Hathaways have created a sound unlike any other act in modern folk or pop music.
While this unique sound is what first catches a listener's ear, the songwriting strength of Hathaways is what ultimately has audiences returning for more. Effectively balancing the honesty and immediacy of folk music with the straight-forward and hummable pleasure of pop music, the pair conjure an appealing sound that resonates with fans of quality, hand-crafted song.
