A Side Door favorite, Kat Logan is a singer-songwriter and visual artist from Wiscasset who has been performing throughout Maine and New England for more than 30 years. In addition to having a stunningly pure soprano voice, she is a multi-instrumentalist, equally at home on the piano, guitar, and accordion.. She plays and sings a variety of music, ranging from Celtic traditional, blues and 70’s rock, americana and folk, jazz standards and originals. Moreover, Kat exudes a warmth that is enveloping.
She began her music career as a church organist and choir director, having studied organ with Douglas Rafter of Portland and University of Southern Maine Music Department. She came to folk music in the early ’90s and has been playing and recording with many of the Maine folk scene artists. She was included on several of Gordon Bok’s CDs and did the art work for the cover of his CD, “Other Eyes.” In 2012, Logan was on a Grammy nominated CD, called “Singing Through the Hard Times,” a tribute to the late Utah Philips.
As a musician, Logan has played with many different groups, including her first band, Driftwood (who mostly covered Kate Wolf}, and Meteora with Jim Loney and Will Brown. She now performs as a solo musician, accompanying her own tunes and her favorite covers.
