2016 has been rough on a lot of people. My friend Kate had her heart broken just before Christmas when she and her husband decided to go their separate ways.
Going forward, she'll be
Kate Steinway.

There are few other performers that affect me that much, but Kate is one of them. Her voice is gorgeous, she's a fantastic songwriter, and she's one of the sweetest people I know.
There's a special place in my heart for her friend Chloë Agnew as you can probably gather from my posts. I'm not sure that I've told anyone this before but if it weren't for Kate and her friends (Mary and Dani), I wouldn't have have met Chloë this year in August.
Although she sings mostly contemporary songs, Kate's classically trained. Here's one of her warm-ups from earlier this year:

I'm so grateful to Kate and her friends for all their music this year, for being great friends to Chloë, and for being so nice to me.
Kate and her music mean a lot to me and it would mean the world to me if you would follow her too.
I know we've all got our own performers we follow and support beyond Celtic Woman. One of my resolutions is going to be to follow some of your favourites more closely than I had a chance to this year. Let's all help each other out and support those other special performers in our lives that are such important parts of our lives.
