Kathy Mattea

Hailed by The Washington Post as "one of Nashville’s finest song interpreters," Kathy Mattea has enjoyed much success and acclaim during her 35-year career in Country, Bluegrass and Folk music. This includes 2 Grammy wins, 4 CMA Awards, 4 #1 country singles, and five gold albums (plus a platinum Greatest Hits collection). Her latest album, Pretty Bird, chronicles a period of rededication to singing, digging back in with a vocal coach and emerging with a poignant and eclectic CD.

In addition to creating and recording music and performing live on tour, Kathy is increasingly involved with public broadcasting, consulting and contributing on screen to Ken Burns’ 2019 documentary for PBS "Country Music," and recently replacing founder Larry Groce as the host of the long-running NPR show "Mountain Stage."
