Salt Lake City locals Steve Lewis and Lou Vee have joined forces to create a satisfying acoustic blues experience, blending their unique styles and decades of experience, the duo have created a sound that pays homage to the roots of the blues while adding a modern twist that is sure to please listeners.

Kate’s original songs have reached far beyond the Utah border, having been recorded by Grammy-winning musicians, in Bluegrass, Folk, and Celtic music genres. Kate was awarded Best of the West by the Far-West division of Folk Alliance International.
When asked by strangers of what she does for a living, her answer is, “I make all of my mistakes in public.”

“I’m going to sing some unrecorded songs that I save for special occasions, for the kind of listening room the IAMA creates at the Local Concert Series. Fair Winds and Following Seas, Love in Motion, and Beneath the Night Sky will be sung, to mention a few that perhaps you haven’t heard before. I hope you’ll want to sing along. I’ll bring my guitar, fiddle, and Appalachian mountain dulcimer, along with a couple of musicians who will help make things more beautiful than I can conjure up on my own. Since I spend half my time looking after my Mom in West Virginia, which makes me homesick, I’m looking forward to seeing my friends, the IAMA community, and music lovers show up for this first concert of the year. We can start the year out on a hopeful track.
Kate MacLeod

Feldman’s Deli is a proud sponsor of The Local Concert Series.

IAMA no longer publishes The Intermountain Acoustic Musician magazine, due to the high cost as well as the environmental impacts that come with creating and delivering a paper newsletter.
