Kate Gilbertson

A writer at heart, it took her a while for her find her way through the first few chapters of her own paperback.

After slogging it out as an arts journalist in her early years, Kate soon realised this was merely a mask. Meeting and writing about people that she had forever longed to be.

Truth is the fire of the artist can only be kept at bay for so long. So she packed it in, and after a trek around the world decided to hone in on her dream, that her thoughts would live on long after she is gone through song. Much like the greats of her past Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Jeff Buckley and others.

Her biggest lesson to date is undoubtedly to follow your heart, your gift, and Kate has now been sharing her intimate acoustic sounds with Perth's folk, indi audience for over four years and has never looked back. Featuring regularly at Perths original hotpots including Mojos, The Bird, Velvet Lounge, Xwray, Yayas and her debut supporting UK Star Passenger in April 2012 at the Fly By Night, Fremantle.
Her honest, warm, fresh folk sound likens her to the recent Laura Marling while she rapidly builds a very strong Perth and Australian following.

With her debut EP "Olive Street" set to be released in September 2013 Kate Gilbertson is set to take the Australian music by storm. Tune in for some beautiful songs that will take your breath away and hopefully live with you for a long time yet...
