Description

Katherine Rondeau is a full-throttle singer-songwriter who focuses her passion for classic folk music through a thoroughly modern lens. After bursting onto the Philly folk scene in 2015, she was quickly recognized for her rich, bold voice and warm, engaging performance style.

And what a voice it is! Iconic Folk DJ Rich Warren of WFMT’s Midnight Special program said it best: She possesses an amazing set of pipes and knows how to use them. Katherine’s soaring alto moves effortlessly through all facets of the folk genre – whether sharing a strong, haunting cry from an Appalachian-inspired murder ballad; leading a powerful, passionate call for social justice; or engaging her audiences to “join the choir” in a rousing singalong.

Her 2019 release Unfortunate Point of View features seven original songs and four folk classics (including the #1 original song in January), and has spent eight consecutive months on the Folk Alliance Folk DJ charts. More than 20 Folk DJs across the country listed Katherine's self-produced album on their weekly top ten lists, and the accolades don’t stop there. Katherine Rondeau’s voice holds authenticity and soul in every note. Modern folk music in the finest tradition of the form. (Justin Helmer, KVSC)
