When I travel, sometimes it's just me, but for the most part, I am blessed with an awesome band! For starters there's me (Kate) on violin, keyboard (we don't use this a lot, but when we do, I play it) and vocals, Glenn Farley on acoustic guitar and backing vocals, Scott Minter on Mandolin and banjo and Robert Wayne on djembe and percussion.
Three of us, Glenn, Scott and I, also do a lot of instrumental music from Renaissance to Celtic and Bluegrass.
Influences
James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot, Jimmy Martin, Alisson Krauss, Paula Cole, Nicole Nordeman, Eden's Bridge, The Corrs, Forras and other Hungarian Folk Bands/singers, Margaret Becker, Shawn McDonald, David Crowder, Vicky Beeching and Tim Hughes.
Sounds Like
I've been told that I sound a lot like Norah Jones or the lead singer of the Corrs. I often tell people that I'm a cross between Alisson Krauss, Enya and Paula Cole. That should give you some idea.
Kate is a concert artist, worship leader, songwriter, violinist and speaker. She and her band have a passion for the lost and hurting and this is reflected in their music and ministry. In sharing about her music, Kate says, “ I believe God is calling me to write from an honest place – songs of life, faith, humility and surrender. ” Kate’s sound is an acoustic blend of folk-rock, celtic, bluegrass and country and is often compared to Alison Krauss and Nora Jones.
Kate grew up playing classically as well as singing and playing fiddle in her family’s bluegrass band. Her love for music as a way to express her heart grew throughout those early years. Kate’s music ministry includes nearly 10 years in Budapest, Hungary, where she participated on local, national and international worship teams and recorded 2 projects. Upon returning to the states, she got firmly established in NW music ministry and started her own band.
Kate has just completed her new CD, “TURNING PAGES” and has already received a tremendous response since it’s release. Kate says, “This album really represents where I am at in life right now. It’s very creative and continues to infuse my acoustic feel with some pop/country styling. There are a lot of story songs on this project about life, love, worship, struggle and celebration – no matter what life brings, I want my life to count – to make a difference…”
Kate’s prior album, HERE, is a mingling of Celtic, Hungarian and folk influences and has landed her Canadian retail and radio distribution along with national and international airplay. Her song, “Quiet Place” took 2nd place nationally in it’s genre at the 2005 GMA Music In The Rockies, “Lay It Down” was 4 on the top 10 Inspirational Charts in the UK, September of 2007, and her songs “Here” and “We Will” will be featured in the 2009 movie, “Faith Happens.”
In listening of your titles, again, your music are always a blessing.

Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... sing & dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside...
When we share it with friends... something is healing all over...
Love can drive... in a simple way... everything
We are connected
Vibejays & Friends
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimada/o Kate White,
cada vez que escuchamos o escribimos musica... tocamos un instrumento... cantamos y bailamos... o trabajamos en procesos de ingenieria de audio/imagen/video.... algo se sana por dentro...
Cuando lo compartimos con amigos... algo se sana en todas partes...
El Amor puede conducir... de manera simple... todo...

Hi Kate, would you please put a friend of mine on your prayer list. She was in a terrible car accident, on Dec 30, 2008. Her name is Tabby Brown, she is on life support. She has to many things wrong to list. I am just asking my family of God to lift her up in prayer. I believe God is already doing miracles in her life. Doctor's gave her no more than one hour to live, and it has been 7 days now. We serve an awesome God:) Thank you for your prayers!!!
