Kate Wallace & Doug Clegg in Altadena Dec. 4


Award -winning songwriters, Kate Wallace and Doug Clegg, bring considerable musical history and talent to their show--their styles are different, but together they make for an evening of great Americana music.
.
Kate was born and raised in Pasadena and rarely does a show here, so she’s really happy to be playing in the home territory again. Generally performing as solo artists, Maverick Magazine in Britain says about Kate, “Wallace’s music waxes a rich artful beauty of which only the most accomplished are capable.. She proves herself to be an exquisite exponent of her craft.”
While Doug --who plays everything from mandolin, guitar and fiddle to accordion, drums and steel guitar, “plays like lightning, sings like thunder” according to the Boston Globe.
Each is a New Folk Finalist at the Kerrville Folk Festival and both have had long successful careers as touring singer/songwriters. They perform everything from contemporary folk and blues to bluegrass, country and other assorted roots Americana music, and compliment each other beautifully.

Each artist spends much of the year traveling, teaching and recording/ playing. This will be their second appearance at the Coffee Gallery Backstage. Kate has a brand new CD out called Ruby Slippers and Doug has just released his newest project, A Moment, a Lifetime. More information on each artist is available at http://www.katewallace.com/ and http://www.dougclegg.net/.

In addition to their solo efforts as artists, they both do a considerable amount of studio work on other artists’ projects and they book the popular Trinity Backstage acoustic music concert series in Santa Barbara, http://www.trinitybackstage.com/., every 4th Saturday of the month.
