Kate Weekes

Kate Weekes is a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter based in the Gatineau Hills of Quebec. Kate has released five albums of original material influenced by her time spent in the northern parts of the world working as a dog musher, canoe and hiking guide. Kate’s songwriting unearths a stirring, picturesque collection of original songs ranging from Appalachian-influenced ballads to anthemic folk-pop to whimsical instrumental waltzes. Kate’s most recent album, Rideau Roots (2025) maps a route by canoe through eastern Ontario to question the settler narrative of the Rideau Canal.
