Who’s Kate?

Kate Schutt (pronounced “shut”) is an award-winning singer-songwriter, guitarist, and producer whose voice NPR calls “glassily clear and glossily sweet.”

American Songwriter deemed her album Bright Nowhere “illuminating” and “the work that ought to bring her the wider recognition she so decidedly deserves.”

Kate’s songs have won top honors from the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, the USA Songwriting Contest, and ASCAP.

She’s played in the US, Canada, the UK, Denmark, and Brazil, and along the way shared stages with Terri Lyne Carrington, Bill Frisell, Julian Lage, Scott Colley, and Bernard Purdie, to name only a few.

When she’s not writing songs, she’s dreaming about how to get back to the Arctic.
