These influences have also created a great mix of music; one that cannot be defined or slipped into a genre as the record is very much, "Old School;" as in that it has style not repetition. All of the songs sound like Kate Grom but none sound the same and in today's age of cookie cutter efforts, it is very refreshing. Even her version of, "All I Want for Christmas is You" is done in her own fabulous style complete with hand percussion and real instrumentation.
So what is in store for this talented siren with the enchanting voice? "I had one more show in 2017 and now I'm going to take a break," she said with a laugh. "I am going to start writing again; I've been touring for about two years and I need a break so that I can get creative again."
To discover more about Kate Grom, please visit www.kategrom.com.
That's it for this week! Please continue to support live and original music and until next week....ROCK ON!
