Kaïa Kater

Montreal-born Grenadian-Canadian Kaïa Kater‘s jazz-fuelled voice and deft songcraft have garnered acclaim from NPR’s Tiny Desk, the Guardian, Rolling Stone and No Depression.

Through her artful banjo playing and lush songwriting, Kater draws on influences rooted in Quebec, the Caribbean, and Appalachia, all of which reflect the diversity of her background; her ties to the Canadian folk music scene; her college years spent soaking up Appalachian music in West Virginia, her father’s experience growing up in Grenada, and her recent work in film composition.Kater’s new JUNO-winning album, Strange Medicine, celebrates the power of women and oppressed people throughout history, while also sharing deep self-reflection, reinvention, and meditations on her own life.

Taking the helm as co-producer, alongside Joe Grass (Elisapie, Barr Brothers), the album finds Kater expanding her creative scope with cinematic arrangements, and working with guest artists such as Taj Mahal, Allison Russell and Aoife O’Donovan.This show takes place at the Strines Nightingale - a lovely country pub, formerly called the Sportsman, which re-opened in autumn 2022.

Strines is on the Piccadilly-Sheffield train line, and on the 358 bus route from Stockport to Hayfield.

This show will run until 10.30pm at the latest.Presented by Hey! Manchester.This is an 18+ event
