Kate Mills

Kate is a storyteller whose lyrics and emotional perspective are uniquely informed by schooling and a career in social work. “Many of the things I loved about social work are also why I love music,” she says. “In both, it’s about creating a space where it's okay to feel whatever we're feeling; a space for us to acknowledge and embrace our whole selves, even the parts that are challenging. As a musician, I feel like I can contribute to that space more genuinely.” The Music of Kate Mills is like taking a drive with Dan Fogelberg, Brandi Carlile, Linda Rondstadt, and Sara Bareilles through Southern California in the 1970s. Her folk-rock sound captures the warmth and orchestrations of her beloved Laurel Canyon singers-songwriters, while being enhanced by today’s crisp production standards.
