Karen Peris of the group The Innocence Mission (which has a new self-titled
LP out right now) may well be of interest to Kate fans. She's the primary
songwriter of the group, she's a keyboardist, and she sounds a little like
Kate. It sometimes sounds like Kate is her primary influence.
The themes of the songs are KT-esque as well. For instance, one song
references dangerous love, one is about a lost identity, and one is a
dialogue between an 18th century painter, working in the south of France,
and his maid who has fallen in love with him.
None of the songs come across as pretentious in the least. Check it out.
