Kathryn williams is a Liverpool-born, Mercury music prize-nominated singer-songwriter with 16 albums under her belt. Before her last release, Night Drives (which entered the official folk album charts at #2), the label OLI celebrated her career (thus far) with a 20-CD and 2-book box set, Anthology, strewn with her artwork.
Her novel The Ormering Tide debuted to critical acclaim and was listed in the Bookseller magazine as a bestseller in the north of England. She hosts her own popular podcast, Before the Light Goes Out, which appeared in the Top Ten best music podcasts by the Guardian. Kathryn tutors at Arvon and Moniack Mhor, and writes with many diverse artists around the world including Paul Weller, Chris Difford, Ed Harcourt, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Jonathan Brookes, Louise Goffin and Michele Stodart. She is the only female songwriter included in the Top Ten list of best Liverpool songwriters of all time.
Her latest album, with artist Withered Hand, titled Willson Williams, is out this April.
