Kate Campbell is the daughter of a Baptist minister from Sledge, Mississippi.

She has played the prestigious Cambridge Folk Festival and appeared on NPR’s All Things Considered. Recently she released a gospel CD that has received rave reviews. She earned an MA degree in Southern history from Auburn University to enhance her work as a song-writer. This woman is really, really good!
