Cate Kennan

About the Artist

Cate Kennan’s live performances envelop audiences in a serene, dreamlike atmosphere, mirroring the ethereal quality of her studio recordings. Utilizing a diverse array of synthesizers and instruments, she crafts minimalist yet emotionally resonant soundscapes. Her debut album, The Arbitrary Dimension of Dreams, exemplifies this approach, blending spectral synthesizers with hazy lap steel guitars to create evocative musical vignettes. In live settings, Kennan reimagines her compositions, sometimes incorporating new elements or collaborating with other musicians, such as guitarist Scott Gilmore, whose harp-like delicacy adds depth to tracks like “Sundial.” Fans appreciate her ability to transform venues into intimate spaces of contemplation, where the boundary between dream and reality blurs, leaving listeners both introspective and uplifted.
