Seattle area Singer/Songwriters Kathryn really likes (and sometimes plays with):
Eva Tree
A powerful voice with songwriting about issues and inner worlds that matter. Eva started out as a vocalist, then made her way into songwriting and guitar playing much like Kathryn did. She is one of Seattle's newest songwriting gems!

Larry Murante
A voice that could break glass, but would also clean up after itself. Big but tender, rocking but folksy, Larry's voice and songs are a gem in the Seattle songwriter community.

Joe Crookston
Joe recently moved to Ithaca, NY, but we still like to think of him as a Seattle songwriter. Kathryn sings harmony on Joe's newest CD, "Fall Down as the Rain", which was chosen as a Top 12 DIY album by Performing Songwriter magazine.

Richard Middleton
Richard is one of the funkier songwriters in Seattle, with lots of R&B influences in his music. His CD, WEB, is one of Kathryn's favorites.

Brad Warren
Kathryn once described Brad as a cross between John Gorka and Dave Matthews. He has a beautiful husky voice that is sexy, soulful and real all at the same time.

Katya Chorover
Katya has an unforgettable voice in its power and beauty. Her latest album, Off the Map, is a wonderful blend of country, folk, pop, and soul.

Kym Tuvim
A rich, alto voice that is not unlike warm honey. Kym's been touring up a storm across the country these days, so no matter where you live, check her out!

Peter Hwosch
Think Bruce Cockburn, and you'll get a sense of Peter's rich voice and searing lyrics. Peter is now based in the Balkans, teaching compassionate listening and playing music.

Val D'Alessio
Bluesy vocals with honest songs and guitar playing that is truly, wonderfully healing.

Inland Folk with Dan Maher
Sundays 8 - 10 PM
Folk musician Dan Maher shares the music of local and national folk artists on his program, which has been on air for almost two decades. As Dan puts it: "Inland Folk is nothing more or less than to allow people the opportunity to listen to all kinds of really good acoustic music. I just do it because the music's out there and people are listening to it. Hopefully they learn a little bit each time they listen to the show."
