Kate Farmer with Jonathan Sadler

“Making hippies cry since 1986”

Raised in the small community of Jamestown, CO, Kate Farmer can’t remember a time she wasn’t immersed in music. She grew up listening to her mother’s clear falsetto harmonizing with Nanci Griffith, Alison Krauss and Bonnie Raitt, instilling in her a deep love of strong female voices and heartfelt songwriting. After much encouragement at a young age, her first performance was at 9 years old where she brought several hippies to tears…and she hasn’t stopped since. Continuing to combine her love of family and community with music, Katie performs as one half of The Farmer Sisters with her sister Sara Jane, and as a backup vocalist for countless Colorado projects, including Gasoline Lollipops, Foxfeather, Antonio Lopez, Pamala Machala and Taylor Shae. Writing original songs on her acoustic guitar, her style feels soulful and bluesy with folk and Americana influences. In any genre, her voice alone could make you cry.
