Seattle-based singer and guitarist Kate Tucker plays smart, eclectic music that isn’t shy about drawing upon different genres from folk to rock to pop to silence. 'American Songwriter’s' March 2006 issue says: 'On her debut EP, "Eros Turannos," (produced by Ryan Hadlock of The Strokes, Blonde Redhead), Tucker crafts a set of entrancing, melancholy songs layered with ethereal soundscapes, something one might expect from Bjork, if not for the steady rhythm section that Tucker employs. With a voice that mixes elements of Dido and Natalie Merchant, Tucker manages to find her niche on her first try—upbeat but otherwise gloomy, ambient songs.' Starbucks stores nationwide are featuring 'Eros Turannos' and it is charting various CMJ stations across the country. Hear a live radio performance at 1077theend.com.

There is this really great Seattle indie singer/songwriter named Kate Tucker. Saw her with her band open for some indie 'darling' and she totally blew him and me out of the water. So, I went to see her solo and was really moved by the honesty and fragility of it all. really a beautiful voice, beautiful and dark songs, and great melodic sense. I highly recommend checking her out. if she could only get a little press, Im sure she would do something big. I tracked down her site at www.katetucker.net and there is this thing called myspace as a link. try to give her a shout out if you can. —Jon Huysman, Seattle, Wash. www.msnbc.com

Editor's Pick- www.smother.net

Kate joins up with Nic Danielson (drums, synth, piano) and Brian Opalewski (bass) to record a great female-led singer/songwriter pop masterpiece. With a vocal delivery that reminds one of Natalie Merchant covering The Cranberries, Kate Tucker lays on thick melodies and catchy hooks throughout this colorful pop-rock adventure. Her lush arrangements are breathtaking finding even the most remote note and being able to flip it into a dominant portion without ever seeming forced. Female indie-pop this golden hasn’t been around since Mazzy Star’s hey-day and it’s a welcome change to the male-dominated scene. Wow

American Songwriter Review

“When one thinks of female artists in alternative rock, names like Beth Orton, Fiona Apple, Mazzy Star and Portishead quickly jump to mind. It isn’t a surprise that Kate Tucker cites most of these on her A-list of influences. On her debut, Eros Turannos, Tucker crafts a set of entrancing, melancholy songs layered with ethereal soundscapes, something one might expect from Bjork, if not for the steady rhythm section that Tucker employs. With a voice that mixes elements of Dido and Natalie Merchant, Tucker manages to find her niche on her first try—upbeat but otherwise gloomy, ambient songs.”
