Eastern Front Songwriting Grant winner, Kat Wallace, is a Boston-based fiddle player, singer, and songwriter who blends lyrical depth with powerful instrumental command. Wallace is best known for her bespoke fiddle playing in Rachel Sumner and Traveling Light, winners of the 2025 Telluride Bluegrass Band Contest.

She has recently stepped into the spotlight with her debut solo album “Grand Design”, released in January 2025. The album showcases her songwriting on tenor guitar, drawing on Americana influences like Gillian Welch and John Prine, alongside centuries-old Celtic and English balladry.

Wallace regularly performs at Passim (when she’s not on the road) as a part of Zachariah Hickman’s “Power Outage Party” and her latest project, Forsyth, a vocal harmony focused supergroup of Boston folk musicians.
