Kate Davis Brings Her Music to Spoleto Festival USA

  Kate Davis plays the Wells Fargo Jazz series at Spoleto USA on Thursday, June 4. Whether she’s crooning rootsy ballads or plucking bright riffs from her bass, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Kate Davis puts a fresh spin on the standards and brings a canonical sensibility to her own lush creations. This gutsy songstress from Portland, Oregon uses a broad musical palette, enhanced be her dazzling skill and impeccable taste. She talks with Jeanette Guinn about where all that music comes from.
