Davis, Kate

***CHECK STOCK!!! Tiny Desk Concert aired 8/04/2020. KATE DAVIS, who most recently co-wrote SHARON VAN ETTEN's hit single ‘Seventeen’, releases her debut indie rock album, Trophy.

By the time she graduated high school, Kate won the Presidential Scholar in the Arts Award and a full ride to the Manhattan School of Music. By the time she graduated college, ASCAP’s Robert Allen Award and slots at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. As a young adult, the virtuoso claimed enthusiastic endorsements from NPR, MTV, PBS and BBC as well as coveted invitations to the stage from Herbie Hancock, Ben Folds, Alison Krauss, Jeff Goldblum and the like.
