KATE'S EPK AT SONIC BIDS:
http://www.sonicbids.com/KateWallace2 |
"Wallace’s voice is like rain pouring over caked-brown
dirt, delivering heartfelt lyrics and providing hope for
change. When I received a copy of the CD(Politics & Religion),
I couldn’t stop listening."
- Felicia Tomasko, Santa Barbara Independent |
POLITICS AND RELIGION is an incredibly well crafted album,
making for compelling listening...Kate's delivery is nothing
short of stunning and left this reviewer returning to it
time and again in order to absorb every note, every syllable.
Old Devil Time, written by Pete Seeger, must surely rank
as one of the highlights of an album where every song has
so much to commend it.

Al Moir, (independent reviewer), Great
Britain

“ Wallace’s music waxes a rich artful beauty
of which only the most accomplished are capable….
She proves herself to be an exquisite exponent of her
craft.”
- Maurice Hope Maverick Magazine, Britain
|
“Politics and Religion is a wonderful album…Kate
sings with the type of raw tenacity that separates your standard
female singer/songwriters from your great ones”
- Alan Cackett, Maverick Magazine, UK
|
“Kate is a woman of conscience who sings
with a vengeance”
–
the rev. lisa hunt, Nashville, TN |
“An exceptional artist”
billboard magazine |
“Kate is a woman of strength with a great
deal of integrity and her music reflects her conviction. She’s
also a babe.”
Henry Paul, artist/Blackhawk
|
“I love Kate. I lover her music and I’ll
baby-sit her dog anytime”.
John Jennings, artist & producer / M. Chapin Carpenter
|
“Wallace was once a Nashville based songwriter who didn’t
subscribe to the Music Row mentality of factory writing. She
has a distinctive voice and style of writing that allows the
songs to flow together seamlessly. Kate has a unique way of flipping
into her head voice that’s somewhere between a catch and
a cry, and always affecting.”
Neil Fagan, Performing Songwriter
|
“This is somebody you need to pay attention to. Her songs
have wonderful melodic curves and her vocal is marvelously lustrous.
Seek her out- trust me, she’s a real winner.”
Robert K. Oermann, Music Row Magazine
