Raised in the East Yorkshire flatlands, Katie Spencer’s landscape has always been that of open skies and widening rivers. Stand in the same place for long enough and you can watch the sun rise over the North Sea and then sink into crop fields, glowing auburn in late-summer sun. It is this sense of space and movement that flows through Katie Spencer’s music. The songwriting, and most notably her guitar playing stems from a time when the steel-stringed instrument was truly finding its voice. Katie plays songs from her 2022 album, The Edge of the Land.
'Her articulate picking, with suggestions of folk and jazz, frames intelligently written songs and is the backbone to her music.' - Guitarist Magazine
