Kate Klim was five years old when her family inherited a piano, 9 years old when she received her first lesson, and 11 years old when an unsuccessful audition for the film "Life with Mikey" caused her to rethink her career as a moviestar. This was fortunate, because the singer/songwriter Club Passim has since called a "local rising star" then turned to music.
With roots in Palatine, Illinois and Downingtown, Pennsylvania, Kate was raised on a steady diet of Carole King , Paul Simon, Billy Joel and John Lennon. Later on, her influences grew to include Patty Griffin, Jonatha Brooke, Chris Trapper and Garrison Starr.
Kate's musical success in her hometown led her to Berklee College of Music in Boston. It was here that Kate worked on her skills as a writer and performer. She can often be found on the stages of Club Passim, the Tin Angel, Tupelo Music Hall and other notable listening rooms. Recent accomplishments include opening slots for Shawn Colvin, Richard Shindell, Ollabelle and a performance at Philadelphia’s Electric Factory as part of the Philly Music Awards. After winning a coveted spot at the 2004 Mid-Atlantic NACA conference, Kate entered the college market, which included the receipt of a special “emerging artist” award fron the prestigious Cornell University. Summer of 2005 included an honorable mention in the Mountain Stage Newsong Contest, and 2006 brought her to the Finals for Mountain Stage as well as teh "Silver" Award for Best Folk Song in the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest.
In 2006, Kate collaborated with celebrated New England producer, Crit Harmon (Martin Sexton, Lori McKenna, Meg Hutchinson) to record her first fully-produced CD. Several songs have already won awards, and the album was released in January, 2007 to a sold out crowd in Cambridge, MA. 2007 will be a year of touring and promtion for the album, "Up and Down and Up Again." In late summer of '07, Kate will be returning to her hometown of Philadelphia, PA, to pursue music full time.
