KATE CAMPBELL with John Kirk - 8th Step at Proctors 10/4

Celebrated Southern ssinger-songwriter KATE CAMPBELL writes and sings memorable songs infused with undercurrents of delta blues, folk, pop, and country that span the less-travelled back roads from Nashville to Muscle Shoals to Memphis.

Her musical tastes were forged in the tampered, smoky fires of soul, R and B, Southern Rock, country and folk music. From deep within her Southern memories and music come poignant memories, whimsical characters, searing observations and powerfully universal truths.

Kate's endearing, clear-water vocal delivery and her eloquent gift for storytelling have drawn repeated comparisons to such bastions of the Southern literary tradition as Flannery O'Connor, Eudora Welty, and William Faulkner. Her easy command of a full range of American musical styles has earned Campbell recognition as a formidable talent by critics.
