Kate Pearl
Growing up in Ohio, USA, Kate Pearl wrote, sang and dreamed of one day producing her own music. In 2022, Kate Pearl released her first solo album “Into The Evening Mood” with her band Just Pearls – a collaborative effort around the trio, Kate Pearl, Dave Jutzi and Tom Gisler. Their characteristic sound blends clearly recognizable roots in Americana and bluegrass with elements of blues, jazz, rock and pop. The name Just Pearls is an homage to her great-grandmother and namesake, evoking feelings of justice, modesty and minimalism.
Kate Pearl’s dreams and ambitions led her to explore a variety of paths before beginning to produce her own music – she has worked as an equestrian athlete, a tutor for refugees, a translator and a teacher, and holds advanced degrees in literature, linguistics and education. Mother of three wild and wonderful daughters, she lived briefly in France, Ireland, Burkina Faso and Peru before permanently settling in 2001 on her family’s farm in the foothills of the Swiss Alpes, which she has called home ever since.
