Kathleen Edwards: Performing Artist in New York

About Kathleen Edwards

Kathleen Edwards is a Canadian singer-songwriter whose work sits in the alt-country and folk tradition, built around close observation and plainspoken phrasing. She emerged in the early 2000s with records that placed on U.S. charts, later reaching wider attention with *Voyageur* and a SOCAN songwriting prize for “A Soft Place To Land.” Her sound is often described as bridging the directness of singer-songwriters and the looseness of rock. At 92NY, she shares the stage with Patty Griffin for a co-billed evening of song; her performances favor clarity over spectacle.
