"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." - Tracy Grammer
