Born in Birmingham and raised in a music-loving household, acclaimed singer-songwriter Katherine Priddy presents a nostalgic mix of sun-dappled acoustic guitar-picking, rich orchestral flourishes and a graceful, fluid voice reminiscent of folk greats like Sandy Denny. Growing up in the village of Alvechurch in the West Midlands, she participated in the school choir and orchestra before picking up the guitar as a teenager and quickly revealing a talent worthy of the limelight, scribbling down songs that would later appear on her debut LP. After finishing as a finalist in the UK's Next Brit Thing competition in 2014 and performing at London's O2 Arena, her career was well underway and support slots with the likes of Vashti Bunyan and Scott Matthews followed. She announced her arrival on the British folk scene in 2019 with the Wolf EP, which was succeeded by her critically acclaimed 2021 debut The Eternal Rocks Beneath. Produced with Simon Weaver, who laced her delicate bucolic storytelling with a rich stew of instrumentation—from cello and violin to accordion—the LP hit number one on the UK Folk Chart and guaranteed her place in the canon of new British folk luminaries. A slew of singles and EPs emerged in the years following her debut release, from 2021's "Icarus" and "Talk to Me of Mendocino," a collaboration with John Smith to 2023's standalone single "I Think They're Leaving Me Behind." 2024 saw the release of her sophomore album The Pendulum Swing, produced again by Simon Weaver.
