Dec. 7 Kate Morrissey. A fine pianist, vocalist and songwriter from Central PA, Ms. Morrissey is a fairly recent addition to the regional music scene after immigrating from South Dakota. Her sometimes evokes the wide-open feeling of the Great Plains, but also runs toward the introspective. With her fine voice and literate lyrics, she makes an impressive debut on Homegrown Music. |
