A noteworthy NYC storyteller: Kate Vargas

There doesn’t seem to be very much that singer-songwriter-storyteller Kate Vargas is too afraid to reveal. Listen as her tales of love (‘If You Lose Me’) and the devil (‘Throw the Devil Back’) weave their way through a riotous brew of folk, blues and rock, delivered by an undeniably unique voice, and arrangements that sound old timey but – at a close listen – are not. It’s like the sound of a favorite bourbon come to life: gritty, but with loads of personality to spare. Check out fave track (and also title track) from debut record ‘Down To My Soul’ below, and check her out when she announces new dates soon. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets), photo by Jan La Salle
