You may have seen Kate busking outside of your local liquor store a few years ago as she was saving up to head out on a cross-country hitch-hiking adventure that led her to the Yukon. Now calling the
Yukon "home", Kate has spent the last few years canoeing, dog mushing, and becoming an established musician & song-writer.

Kate released her debut self-titled album in 2007 and has since then received national airplay, toured throughout the country and had the opportunity to showcase at the Western Canadian Music Awards & Showcase Yukon. Kate is the recipient of the 2007 Beth Ferguson Award and has performed at folk festivals in both the Yukon and Ontario including Blue Skies Music Festival, the Ottawa Folk Festival and the Festival of Friends. In 2007 Kate had the honour of performing at a reception for the Govenor General during her visit to Whitehorse.

While Kate's songs are often introspective, they are rich in story and capture glimpses of varied lifestyles. In 2007 the album "Kate Weekes" received the Mac Beattie Award as part of the Porcupine Awards, for being "quintessentially Canadian". Kate's new album reflects her joy of life and determination to question her own motives.
