With a lifetime of stories put into songs, Kate Redgate's music is a lived-in mix of rock and roll, folk, roots-rock and country. The result of a high school dropout using time well spent absorbing her vast early musical influences, and then putting in the time of living and working to become a writer with her own voice.

A NewFolk tinalist at the prestigious Kerville Folk Festival, Kate Redgate's career spans decades of "here and there's" — from southern Illinois, to Montana, to New England She has performed at SXSW, the South Florida Folk Festival Songwriters Showcase, Whitefish Songwriters Festival; and is a "Boston's Best" songwriter and a New England Music Award Songwriter of the Year Nominee.

She has performed at legendary folk clubs and countless rock and roll clubs with her band, and also shared the stage with songwriting luminaries such as Richie Havens, Lori McKenna & BJ Barnum to name a few. All of this while working multiple jobs over 3 decades as a single mother and a survivor.

"Nothing Tragic" — her 2009 release- received international acclaim. After spending some time in the dark, her latest record, "Light Under The Door" released on Rum Bar Records (June, 2023 Boston, MA), is proof of her grit and determination — and not just in the songs. The album was recorded live in the studio, vocals and all over the course of 3 days. With her children grown, she is back at it — and arguably better than ever.

Kate is currently at work on a follow up recording, due out in 2025/2026
