Kate Pillsbury began writing songs after inheriting a guitar from her dad as a teenager. In the years since, she has faithfully answered the calls of her muse, primarily focusing on her role as singer and guitarist for the band The Crane Wives. Her songs fall into the cracks between roots and pop, with potently autobiographical lyrics that can soothe or sting. She lives for howling into a microphone and becoming more feral with time.
