Singer-songwriter’s phenomenal banjo playing and potent tunes pack a powerful punch.
A Montreal-born Grenadian Canadian, Kaia Kater grew up between two worlds: her family’s deep ties to folk music and the years she spent soaking up Appalachian music in West Virginia. Her old-time banjo-picking skills, deft arrangements, and songwriting abilities have landed her in the spotlight in North America and the UK, garnering critical acclaim from NPR's Tiny Desk, The Guardian, Rolling Stone and No Depression.
Kater’s latest album Strange Medicine expands her creative scope with cinematic arrangements and guest artists such as Taj Mahal, Allison Russell and Aoife O’Donovan. With lush arrangements and unexpected musical ideas drawn from genres as surprising as minimalist composition, jazz drumming, and film scores, Strange Medicine is the bold next step in Kater’s career.
Kaia started early, crafting her first EP, Old Soul in 2013, when she was just out of high school. Since then, she’s released several albums including 2018’s Caribbean-inspired Grenades, which was released by Smithsonian Folkways and nominated for a Juno and Polaris Music Prize.
At the York Theatre, Kaia performs with her trio.
