Биография

Since her debut EP 'Wolf' in 2018, Katherine Priddy has quickly become one of the most exciting names on the scene. Declared ‘The Best Thing I’ve Heard All Year’ by Richard Thompson, who invited her to join him on two tours, Priddy’s haunting vocals and distinctive guitar style have seen her sell out a headline tour, support world class artists including The Chieftains, John Smith and Vashti Bunyan and earn spots at prestigious festivals. Her much anticipated debut album, The Eternal Rocks Beneath, was released June 2021 on Navigator Records to great acclaim. The tracks received extensive national radio play as well as a 5 star review in Songlines, a 4 star review in the Observer and a No. 1 in the Official UK Folk Charts. Folk Radio UK made Priddy ‘Artist of the Month’ and said of the debut LP: “A debut of true substance, it’s like searching for a simple shelter and stumbling upon a diamond mine.” The album was later chosen as Album of the Week on RTE Radio 1 in Ireland and made the Top 10 2021 Folk Albums list in Mojo Magazine. With exciting plans for 2022, Priddy’s momentum shows no signs of slowing. Her live performances are engaging, moving and amusing by turn, delivering original songs with emotional maturity and tenderness, whilst her lyrics are particularly noteworthy - a tribute to her life-long love affair with the written word. Despite the delicacy of her sound, Katherine Priddy is clearly no fragile wallflower, but a determined woman ready to make her mark.
