Welcome to Catherine Howe's Official Website

Catherine has recently released a new album called English Tale, recorded with guitarist and songwriter Vo Fletcher. Catherine and Vo recorded the songs for this album as live performances, to produce a collection of songs filled with melody and story.  They give special thanks to Ric Sanders of Fairport Convention for his contributions on violin.
