"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 from the great state of Ohio. Backed by a dynamic ensemble of Seattle artists including Blake Wescott, Casey Foubert, Ty Bailie, and Ed O’Brien, Tucker plays a haunting Southern Gothic inspired rock, full of silence and sorrow.
At 16, Tucker 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, Tucker released her first record, "Eros Turannos" produced by Ryan Hadlock.(Metric, Blonde Redhead, Gossip) Kate Tucker and the Sons of Sweden formed in 2007 to record 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 Tucker and the Sons of Sweden have been featured on Itunes Singer-Songwriter page and on the playlists of Starbucks stores nationwide. Starbucks included "Faster Than Cars Drive" on their "Have You Heard" compilation and Tucker also contributed a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire" for the Starbucks Sweetheart record. In 2008, the band toured nationally in support of the album, showcasing at SXSW,Bumbershoot, and CMJ.
In 2009, Kate Tucker parted with the Sons of Sweden. Tucker’s side project, honeydove, debuted at SXSW. Tucker is now back in Seattle, recording a new album produced by Blake Wescott. Listen to songs from the new record at myspace.com/katetuckermusic
