Folklore Sessions Presents; St. Catherines Child + Support

Transatlantic singer-songwriter Ilana Zsigmond AKA St. Catherine’s Child, is one of the rising stars of the Indie Folk/Americana scene. She has played to entranced audiences both in the USA and UK.

Having had interest from labels and publishers from both the UK and USA, she signed to TRO Essex Music and Shamus Records in New York. She was excited to sign to a company which holds the publishing for the Woody Guthrie archive, original David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and T Rex catalogue, along with breakthrough artists such as Flamy Grant and The Pairs.

Born in England to musical parents, Ilana spent the majority of her childhood in New Haven, Connecticut, bouncing back and forth between continents as her parents toured.

After settling back in the UK in 2015, she has formed a band that reflects the Americana aesthetic that surrounded her throughout her childhood with the articulation and dry wit of her British sensibilities.

Named after the patron saint of eloquent women, her vocal strength and poetic songwriting shines at the heart of St. Catherine’s Child.
