Kath Bloom w/ Tom Hanford + Erin Durant + Wes Buckley @ Brooklyn Rod+Gun, 8/30

August 30, 2014 By WG News + Arts Leave a Comment

kath bloom poster“For fans of the song and how to feel it. Kath Bloom is some kind of legend. She comes from a special place where country, blues and folk are made beautifully translucent and emotive. She has a special gift – her voice is delicate and tender, yet retains that raw emotion and hard worn truths that allows each sung word to be felt.”

Kath will be playing with her long-time duet partner TOM HANFORD, who she has worked on and off with since 1977.

“Bloom sounds like a woman who has spent years in the wilderness… An earthy, unpretentious presence, she can snap a heart like a twig” – Pitchfork
