Cate Clifford began her folk life as a child enamored with Irish trad tunes. That love carried her to Limerick Ireland for a semester abroad in 2010, then to Providence RI in 2016, where she found social singing waiting for her alongside the sessions she’d come for. She has since filled her song book with favorites spanning Appalachia to Scotland, 1609 to 2014, children’s rhymes to gospel to ballads to protest music. Cate has gleefully attended festivals such as TradMaD, Youth Trad Song Weekend, NEFFA and Mystic Sea Music Festival, and has had the privilege of performing at the Fox Point Folk Fest and Pawtucket’s Downtown Rising Festival, as well as (devilishly, each October) with The Vox Hunters, Westeryear, and Lindsay Straw.
Sarah Godwin Murdoch was born and raised in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, where her parents taught her “the more music you know, the more music you love.” Having firmly taken this to heart, her repertoire ranges from murderous songs, to Child Ballads, to original tunes. She’s performed in various NYC spots, including Parkside Lounge, Sidewalk Cafe, and the Knitting Factory, where she opened for Gaelynn Lea. She’s had the pleasure of singing for the Folklore Society of Greater Washington and has regularly attended both TradMad and Youth Trad Song Weekend. She can stop anytime she wants.
