Kala Farnham - Connecticut State Troubadour

Yes, Connecticut appoints a state troubadour as an ambassador for state culture and Kala Farnham is the 18th State Troubadour!

Drawing on a background in classical piano, musical theater, and therapeutic sound, she offers a signature reinvention of the folk tradition— infusing fairytales, historical fiction, and narrative medicine into vivid portraits of the human experience. Her intimate, interactive performances—featuring soul-stirring vocals and mystical folk harp, piano, and guitar—invite listeners on a transcendent journey that lingers long after the final note fades. She crafts contemporary folk songs with roots and wings, weaving age-old truths into modern grooves.
