Kate Vigo Trio will play at the Taste of Falls Creek Festival 2010.
After the recent release of her new single and video clip, ‘The Way You Are’, which is making radio waves around the country, Kate Vigo is making a name for herself in the music scene. With a sound that sits astride eclectic pop and stylized 60s rock, Kate is joined by amazing ensemble musicians known as ‘The Underground Orchestra’.
The fast rising vocalist came into the limelight as highest album selling performer of the 2008 Melbourne Jazz Fringe Festival. Whilst her jazz foundations have served her well, she has now changed her sound to embody an eclectic mixture of sounds, from pop rock to subtle acoustic refrains teamed with programmed loops, intricate melodies, Kate’s trademark soulful voice and 60's girl band influence.
Vigo, runner-up in the 2007 Independent Music Awards (and the only Australian nominated for the singer/songwriter category), led the late Australian music icon Clifford Hocking to remark: ‘Kate’s singing bowled me over in the same way that Kate Ceberano’s did when I first heard her …she is a remarkable talent.’
She is a talented and truly original songwriter who has been acclaimed and acknowledged as a finalist in the 2009 “New Artists to Radio” Competition.
She is about to embark on her first National Australian Tour with the new single “The Way You Are” which will be quickly followed-up in 2010 with the National Album Launch Tour.
