“THE MUSICAL ENGINE BEHIND “YOUR NEW FAVORITE QUEER FOLK-POP BAND.””
about anna/kate
Anna/Kate Band is a 6-piece strong folk-pop band based in NYC. Initially established as 2 queers and a ukelele, Anna and Kate have been joined by multi-instrumentalists Mark Harad-Oaks and Kelly Wenof House, drummer Bryan Clark, and cellist/performer Temi Hason. Together, the band creates anthemic music about nature, abandonment, community, and the times in which we are living, as well as striking love songs, with signature harmonies; from she to she. The Band's debut album, "How to Hold," will be released in early 2018; recorded/mixed/mastered by Grand Street Recording, with guest producer Sean Cronin ("I Run With You," Shipwrecked") and guest artists Sharisse Francisco, Dane Terry, John Bennett and Basit Shittu."
“There were many bands... One of those, the Anna/Kate Band, is terrific. Normally an eight-piece band, they had only three on stage for their set ...They have great harmonies and an infectious sound. For one song, Anna and Kate stood at opposite ends of the room and sang to each other without amplification. Fabulous
”
“They test the boundaries between music, theater, writing, and performance, and produce unique and interactive cabarets and concerts.”
“An enjoyable, idyllic diary of my idealized twenty-something life... What strikes me most throughout the music is the pair’s warmth and humanity: these are songs of celebration, that focus on being present in the moment. Those are lessons to take with us no matter how old we are.”
