Kate Power & Steve Einhorn
Kate Power and Steve Einhorn have been making music together since 1994 in Portland, Oregon. Inspired by the folk culture prevalent in the west Village in New York City during the 1960's, they were each initiated to the stage at an early age. In their 20's, Kate, a solo songwriter, and Steve the lead player in the Appalachian Philharmonic Jugband, migrated to Portland in the late 70's, and eventually met over the counter at Artichoke Music. The rest is history. Individually and together, they have performed with and opened for countless folk luminaries (Pete Seeger, Tom Paxton, Eric Andersen, Townes Van Zandt, Odetta), and they were a featured highlight on Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion". Kate was awarded the Grand Prize at the Kerrville Folk Festival for her anti-war song 'Travis John', covered by folksinger, Tracy Grammer, among others, and was adapted to ballet for The Portland Ballet by choreographer, Josie Moseley. Blues musician, Mary Flower, dubbed Steve & Kate “the Roy and Dale of Folk Music” for their friendly, inclusive approach to building community through music, art, storytelling, and compassionate teaching. Kate & Steve co-created and published the Ukalaliens Songbook for Absolute Beginners to introduce the joys of music on uke to the uninitiated, and they have released a dozen albums of original and traditional music, Kate & Steve continue their life in folk, family and community in Portland, Oregon.
"So earthy and fresh is your music. I love it." - Lloyd "Tommy" Doss, Sons of the Pioneers
“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
"Kate Power write songs from before time." - Kim Stafford, Oregon Poet Laureate 2018-2020
"Exquisite!" - Eric Andersen
"You two are the best, the absolute best!" - Dave Carter
