Don’t miss an evening of music and community as Kaia Kater, one of the most compelling voices in contemporary roots and folk music, brings her powerful songwriting and old-time banjo stylings to Ca d’Zan House Concerts in Cambridge on Saturday, May 17.
Her band members will provide upright bass, drums, saxophone, clarinet and vocal accompaniment.
Montreal-born Grenadian Canadian Kaia’s jazz-fueled voice and deft songcraft have garnered acclaim from NPR’s Tiny Desk, The Guardian, Rolling Stone and No Depression.
Kaia Kater’s new JUNO Award-winning album, Strange Medicine (Free Dirt Records/ acronym in Canada) was created during a period of deep self-reflection and reinvention. The album celebrates the power of women and oppressed people throughout history, while also sharing meditations on her own life.
The night kicks off with a potluck dinner and social hour at 6 p.m., offering a relaxed chance to mingle with fellow community members and music lovers and enjoy good food together.
The concert begins at 7 p.m. and is family-friendly and open to all ages. Guests are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket for comfortable outdoor seating, along with any food or beverages they’d like.
A $20–$30 suggested donation will be collected at the door, with all of the contributions going directly to Kaia Kater in support of her touring.
