"Even with my world view, it makes me feel good!" - Craig Carothers, Nashville
Quality Folk, Kate Power & Steve Einhorn: musicians, writers, artists, community builders, Guinness World Record setters and songwriters. Power & Einhorn harmonize with the blessing of Pete Seeger and the Music to Life grand prize for "Travis John" from Kerrville, Texas. Anchors for legendary folk music center, Artichoke Music (1981-2006) in Portland, Oregon, Kate & Steve bring unique gifts to the table of Great Northwest folk.
Hearts of Space releases "Celtic Woman 3: Ireland" celebrating Power & Einhorn's "Bridget O'Malley" as the second track from their popular "Now & Then" cd. This beautiful song finds itself in fine company with Mary Black, Cherish the Ladies, Eleanor McEvoy, Emer Kenny, Anuna, Skilda, Cathie Ryan, Maura O'Connell, Dolores Keane & Clannad.
Folksinger Tracy Grammer's rendition of Power's "Travis John" is receiving positive acclaim for turning the song into a "one-song peace movement" as she distributes copies of Power's "Travis John" lyrics, music and story at every gig she plays. This version can be heard on the moving "Book of Sparrows" EP.
A brand new album full of new songs by Kate & Steve is in the making for release this summer!
Oregon favorite on Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion", Kate & Steve are a pair of rare birds promoting peace & goodwill with songs of romance, promise and hope. Pete Seeger sent "Travis John" to Bruce Springsteen to listen to. Choreographer Josie Moseley put "Travis John" on legs for the Oregon Ballet Theatre and the national stage. Oregon ArtBeat on Oregon Public Broadcasting was compelled to follow the story of "Travis John".
Kate & Steve are breaking into new territory and making a difference. Dedicating their lives to promoting a better world, they sing songs that build spirit, hope and love around the world with guitars, banjos, ukuleles and two beautiful voices. Great songwriting, gorgeous singing, Kate Power & Steve Einhorn bring music to life.
Tracy Grammer describes them this way ... "Kate & Steve are my favorite folk duo. Their music embodies reverence -- for the craft of songwriting, for the folk tradition, for the audiences they sing to and for this complicated, terrible, beautiful world that we live in. Kate's earthy banjo and her emotive voice ring with compassion and hope; Steve's spot-on guitar leads and wry sense of humor are grounding, organic, the perfect complement. But all time stops when they sing together. Close your eyes and listen to that blend, friends -- that's where the love really shines through."
