Kate Hammett-Vaughan

Acclaimed as one of Canada’s most distinctive jazz singers, Vancouver-based Kate Hammett-Vaughan’s adventurous, assured and hip vocals have earned her three Juno nominations. The Toronto Star hails her as “a marvelous storyteller… with the knack of making everything she attempts sound newly minted”, while Coda Magazine simply calls her “the finest jazz standards singer in Canada.” A performing and recording artist for over two decades, and one of the west coast’s best-known jazz singing instructors, Kate’s eclectic musical projects include improvising ensembles, performance art, and occasional guest hosting of CBC radio shows such as Disc Drive and After Hours.
