Raleigh-based songwriter Kate Rhudy worked alongside collaborator and producer Andrew Marlin of Mandolin Orange to create her 2017 debut, Rock N’ Roll Ain’t For Me, which earned Rhudy nods from WUNC and INDY Week as “one of the Triangle’s sharpest young songwriters”.
Rhudy released her Sophomore album, Dream Rooms, April 8th of 2022 with producer Andrew Marlin, of which The INDY WEEK says is ”a bittersweet slant toward the sweetness that romance can offer, even when fraught. It sounds, in other words, a lot like love.”
Rhudy’s plainspoken lyrics garnered recognition from She Shreds, “Kate Rhudy is changing the name of country by doing things her own way” and The Strangers Almanac, “for those tired of Americana music from the male perspective, give Kate Rhudy's debut a shot”.
