ABOUT
Pink Martini, Billie Holiday & Astrud Gilberto walk into a... festival."
Kate Thomas is a London-based singer-songwriter with influences from Jazz, Latin, Gypsy, Western European & World music. Kate traveled the world for many years as a singer and has performed in multiple genres; all of which you can now hear in Kate's music.
Kate performs regularly at well-established Jazz, Roots, and World Music venues in and around London and is currently performing her show "A Journey Through Bohemia." The show is a fusion of Jazz, Latin, Gypsy Music, Alternative Pop & Originals. Expect a variety of languages to weave in and out to take you on a heart-moving but also foot-tapping eclectic journey.
"One of the most entertaining and engaging shows I have ever experienced... Kate’s phenomenal charisma and encouragement of audience interaction created an electric atmosphere... an exceptionally talented performer; the audience singing along, dancing, and rewarding every song with rapturous appreciation... such a superb talent... She is certainly one to watch and an artist we hope to work with again in the near future." (Arthouse Music)
"Delightful!" (BTL Jazz)
"Like Edith Piaf and Judy Garland all wrapped up in one" (Helen Lederer)
"Always puts on a great show! Performing a range of genres from jazz, Latin, gypsy music, and pop. Always entertaining, you won't be disappointed!"
