Kate Hinote is an award-nominated Detroit singer and songwriter performing predominantly original material she has co-written for her various projects, including Alt-Rock band, The Blueflowers, which she has been fronting for over a decade. Hinote has a voice that’s both cinematic and operatic, a mood-setting, mellifluous intonation that fits inside candle-lit lounges, late summer night feverdreams, or as a torch song from a surreal soundtrack.

The Kate Hinote Trio is a contemporary folk ensemble and features Hinote’s longtime Blueflowers bandmate, David Johnson, on guitar and Matthew Parmenter (Discipline) on violin. John Sinkevics of Local Spins and WYCE in Grand Rapids, MI, describes the trio as a “new indie-folk/prog-folk trio which manages to not only retain and showcase Hinote’s haunting, mesmerizing vocals but centers them in a fetching, gorgeously arranged acoustic pillow.”
