Kate Erbe sings

[DonnaJo]

This may be old news to some, but I wasn't aware that Kate could sing

Kate sang background harmony with a group called Minus Ted on their song "Riding Towards Albany." You can download their songs for free from their websight.

Scroll down to bottom left on page and click on "Riding Towards Albany. Notice there is also a song entitled "Maeve" which is Kate's daughter's name. I don't think she sings on it, but someone mentioned that the intro talks about the little girl.

I just heard these tracks recently myself. Don't hesitate to download "Albany"--my understanding is that she wrote the lyric apart from singing backing vocals. I was all prepared to make apologies for my sad pathetic Erbe fangirlism, but the song is good, and her singing is lovely. Assuming it's all her singing--but she is the only female vocalist credited AFAIK. She sounds a little bit like (a present-day) Emmylou Harris.

Wow, she's good. I am so surprised. She has a nice folk sound, mellow and again very good. I just didn't realize that she had that in her background.

Thanks for sharing this. Has she done anything else recently? Does she want to be a singer, or was that what she started out to be?

She's friends with the singers of this group. This is why her daughter has a song written about her. I think its cool that she sang. Her voice is very beautiful.
