Kathy Mattea

Hailed by The Washington Post as “one of Nash ville’s finest song interpreters,” Kathy Mattea has  enjoyed much success and acclaim during her  35-year career in Country, Bluegrass and Folk music, including 2 Grammy wins, 4 CMA Awards, 4  #1 country singles, and five gold albums (plus a  platinum Greatest Hits collection). Her latest album is “Pretty Bird", produced by her old friend,  roots music wizard Tim O’Brien.

The wide-ranging  collection of songs chronicles a period of rededi cation to singing, digging back in with a vocal  coach and emerging with a poignant and  eclectic CD. In addition to creating and recording music and performing live on tour, Kathy is increasingly involved with public broadcasting,  consulting and contributing on screen in Ken  Burns’ 2019 documentary for PBS “Country  Music”, and recently replacing founder Larry  Groce as the host of the long-running NPR show  “Mountain Stage”.
