Open Sing
Voices and instruments welcome. Hosted by Cate Clifford
Cate Clifford is a powerful voice in the traditional folk genre whose moving performances leave audiences spellbound. She performs solo and collaborates often, seamlessly alternating between strong, clear lead vocals and sensitive, compelling harmonies. She has performed in house concerts, venues and festival showcases across New England and New York, and is featured on Lynz Morahn’s EP, Kick It Off. When she’s not singing, Cate collects songs about Robin Hood and King Arthur, love songs beyond the romantic or libidinous, and little songs (with Ben Gagliardi), and serves on the board of Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival (PMFF). She is proud to say that no set list is immune to a dash of Sondheim or a sprinkle of Shakespeare.
