Katie Spencer

Katie Spencer creates modern progressive folk music, drawing on influences such as John Martyn, Roy Harper and Laura Marling, as well as her strong spiritual connection to the East Riding landscape.

Her striking vocals and deft songwriting are backed by an evocative and complex guitar style that takes her music to places that are both esoteric and beautiful.

Katie has already built up an extremely respected profile within the national acoustic music scene, receiving praise from the likes of Ralph McTell & Steve Harley. She has shared the stage with world-class musicians such as Danny Thompson, Ted McKenna & Foss Paterson, and was part of 2019’s Celtic Connections celebrations alongside Paul Weller & Eddi Reader playing at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall.

“Katie’s guitar playing has echoes of my dear friend the late, great Bert Jansch. Like a musical weaver she threads her poetic lyrics through the guitar’s strings and produces little tapestries of song.”- Ralph McTell
