"The self-titled debut by Seattle singer Kate Tucker and the curiously dubbed Sons of Sweden entices with a whisper rather than a scream through songs both beautiful and complex. Stirred from a mix of emotions—equal parts angst and anticipation—the music carries a mysterious undertow that’s genuinely affecting." - Performing Songwriter May 2008
Kate Tucker is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist born and raised in the great state of Ohio.
At 16 Kate was given a guitar by the acclaimed luthier Kevin Ryan. She began work on a catalog of songs she would perform from Akron, Ohio to Paris, France. She eventually made the trek west, settling in Seattle, WA.
In 2005, Kate Tucker released her first record, "Eros Turannos" produced by Ryan Hadlock. (Metric, Blonde Redhead) Kate Tucker and the Sons of Sweden formed in 2007, recording an album of lush indie pop with sparkling melodies and shimmering soundscapes. Their self-titled debut was produced by Ryan Hadlock and features Nic Danielson of The Kindness Kind and Seattle folk luminary Damien Jurado.

Kate, nice job at The Tractor last night! No voice was more chilling with such depth and range. Most shy away from the big ole country reverb, but I loved how you wanted more! Ask and you shall receive!
Hey Kate - it was fun flying back from SXSW with you (turbulent, vodka infused flight that it was ;). I hope to catch your Tractor show later this month. Let me know if you want to come to the High Dive on May 16th and I'll put you on the guest list, K? - andrea
