Put yourself in the heart of hardscrabble hills Appalachia – hear that strong, lyrical wail calling down from the mountain, and the steel ring of the banjo strings? Or out on a back porch overlooking a rock-lined creek – can you hear the upright bass thump and warm, soulful harmonies? If so, you’re hearing the unforgettable rootsy folk sound of Katherine Rondeau and the Show. Featuring Katherine Rondeau, Donna Bostock, and Smilin’ Ed, the band is making waves at venerated folk venues across the East Coast including Godfrey Daniels, the Philadelphia Folksong Society, the Folk Project, Burlap and Bean, and MusikFest 2017.  In command on any stage, Katherine’s powerful vocals and driving guitar are partnered with the most kindred musical spirits in this tightly wound, tightly bound trio. Donna is an international performer/musician, music arranger/composer and music educator as smoking hot on bass as she is with a cajon, and Ed is a trad music picking wizard whose work on the banjo and mando take you up to the mountaintop and down by the riverside in one turn! Katherine’s 10/16 release New Hope Chateau received kudos from folk DJs and journalists, with a #9 song and #20 album. The Midwest Record wrote: She's got a "big bold voice that raises the roof with very little effort." Ink 19 wrote "It’s her material that really shines, in an understated manner that showcases her compelling voice and subtle Katherine Rondeau and the Show is Katherine's newest musical adventure --  a rootsy folk trio with a knockout voice! Featuring her trademark powerhouse vocals and guitar, Smiling Ed's alternately screaming and delicate mando and banjo, and Donna Bostock locking in the beat on upright bass and harmonies, Katherine Rondeau and the Show is spreading its strong, soulful folk sound up and down the east coast. Watch for a new CD from this tightly wound, tightly bound trio in early Spring 2018.
