Kaia Kater, ep. 05

Grenadian-Canadian clawhammer banjo player and songwriter, Kaia Kater, grew up in a folk family-- her grandpa is a luthier and her mother ran a number of the Canada’s major folk festivals while Kaia was growing up.

Kaia is a child of an immigrant from Grenada. We explore her inspirations and research for her latest album, Grenades (October 2018 Folkways/Acronym Records), which is a mediation on Grenada and her father’s immigrant experience.
