For over three decades, {>}Katy Moffatt has delivered powerful, adventurous tunes, influenced by the various music of the western states. Her albums on Rounder, Philo, Shanachie and others show amazing style and content, and include songwriting with Wendy Waldman, Tom Russell and others. It's her live shows that are truly special. With just Katy and a guitar, the stage is filled with a fiery blaze of music. Whether singing her own tunes, or traditional music, or covers from an amazing range of songwriters, she's worth hearing.

About the Album:
Katy Moffatt and Andrew Hardin have collaborated on two unique acoustic albums: Walkin’ on the Moon in 1989 and 1998’s Angel Town. Now available on Zeppelin Records is a third addition to this luminous canon. Fewer Things is a collection of 11 songs, including five Katy Moffatt originals, of which two were co-written with Tom Russell.
