Kate Price

A multi-instrumentalist with a rich and lyrical voice, Kate Price blends cross cultural influences that take the listener on an intimate journey through lush sonic landscapes. Kate started singing at a very young age, singing harmony with her older sisters. A few years later her passion for ethnic music was awakened when she heard Bulgarian and Turkish music at a folk dance festival. She became a vocalist and dancer in Santa Barbara Folk Dance Ensemble when she was just fourteen. In her twenties, she fell head over heels in love with a hammered dulcimer. Her first several recordings were traditional music of the British Isles, but she began writing her own compositions after a head on collision at a combined speed of ninety miles per hour. Though she started as a backup singer for rocker Kenny Loggins, the solo recordings of Kate Price reveal a Celtic-style folk singer inspired by the cultural experimentation of Loreena McKennitt. From Santa Barbara, CA, Price first appeared in 1991 on Loggins' Leap of Faith album. She made her debut solo album The Time Between two years later for the Priceless label, and followed in 1995 with Deep Hearts Core. Price has also appeared with the Los Angeles Philharmonic; her third solo effort, Isle of Dreaming, followed in the spring of 2000. 凯特普莱斯是一位多乐器演奏家，声​​音丰富而抒情，融合了跨文化的影响，带领听众在郁郁葱葱的声音景观中进行亲密的旅程。 凯特在很小的时候就开始唱歌，与她的姐姐们和声唱歌。几年后，当她在一个民间舞蹈节上听到保加利亚和土耳其音乐时，她对民族音乐的热情被唤醒了。十四岁时，她成为圣巴巴拉民间舞蹈团的歌手和舞者。二十多岁时，她爱上了锤子扬琴。她的前几张唱片是不列颠群岛的传统音乐，但在以每小时 90 英里的总速度发生正面碰撞后，她开始创作自己的作品。 虽然她一开始是摇滚歌手 Kenny Loggins 的替补歌手，但 Kate Price 的个人录音揭示了一位受到 Loreena McKennitt 文化实验启发的凯尔特风格民谣歌手。来自加利福尼亚州圣巴巴拉市的普莱斯于 1991 年首次出现在 Loggins 的 Leap of Faith 专辑中。两年后，她为 Priceless 唱片公司发行了首张个人专辑《The Time Between》，并于 1995 年发行了 Deep Hearts Core。普莱斯也曾与洛杉矶爱乐乐团合作演出； 2000 年春天，她的第三次个人作品《梦想之岛》紧随其后。
