“If you’re thinking of booking Kate Ashby-Craft for your upcoming show or festival, you can stop thinking and do it ! I’ve watched her closely a few times in the past year when she’s on stage and her performances have always been uplifting and very energetic. Watching her infectious smile as she performs lets the audience know they are watching someone who enjoys performing. Her vocals are impressive and her sets of country music have left me and other audience members wanting more.”
Randy Owen, Mid-Day Announcer Country 107.3 Tillsonburg, ON
“Kate Ashby-Craft and her band were a hit on our outdoor stage, the Music Barge. The music was terrific. The gathering crowd came close to a season’s record. Kate’s personal engagement with the audience was delightful. Everyone had a good time. We look forward to welcoming Kate back to Stratford Summer Music !”
John A. Miller, Artistic Producer Stratford Summer Music
