Holed up on a lonely Ontario farmstead, Kate Rogers poured it all out. St Eustacia, the resulting debut album relates a passion and musicality that will rarely be matched.
"Edge , charisma and Soul" NME
"Her sophisticated folk-influenced pop explores emotional landscapes with controlled power" Music Week
Following her celebrated performances with label mates Aim and Rae & Christian, Kate has embraced the instrumentation and ambience of her earliest influences to write and record this emotive collection of songs. Roots, blues and North American folk flavours feature in a sophisticated sound based on both studio and live performances by Kate and her band.
"What a record. An astonishing debut" Independent on Sunday
With shifting instrumentation - from simple pianos to Arabian-infected beats reflecting her changing moods, the likes of the rousing title track suggests she won't be fading into the crowd Q
"Flecked with blues, roots, jazz and country. Outstanding." The Times
Kate spent the majority of 2004/5 touring Europe where the album was released early in the year. Working with a stripped down ensemble featuring acoustic guitars, harmonica, ukulele and keys, Kate played to club and festival audiences alike. The response was outstanding.
"A mesmerising performer" Whats On - London
2007/8 sees the pendulum swing back home to Toronto for Kate as she prepares for the release of her latest album 'Beauregard' in North America. Playing with her full live band Kate is already flexing her muscles on the Toronto music circuit, with a full touring schedule planned for 2008, which always includes heading back over the pond to the UK.
"A songwriter whose music is evidence of a talent following inspiration rather than fashion. A wonderful album" Sunday Times
