Kate Rhudy

Raleigh-based folk pop songwriter Kate Rhudy worked alongside collaborator and producer Andrew Marlin of Mandolin Orange to create her 2017 debut, Rock N’ Roll Ain’t For Me, which earned Rhudy kudos from WUNC and INDY Week as “one of the Triangle’s sharpest young songwriters”.

Rhudy’s raw commentary on drinking too much in college and making out with your friends, to shedding your morning skin to make room for the softness of another human being, earned her recognition from She Shreds, “Kate Rhudy is changing the name of country by doing things her own way.” The Strangers Almanac added, “for those tired of Americana music from the male perspective, give Kate Rhudy's debut a shot.”

With the forthcoming New Years Eve release of “Dance It Away”, a new single produced by Jack Hallenbeck (Maggie Rogers), Rhudy will be heading west to support Mandolin Orange on their January 2020 tour.
