Cooking Vinyl Signs Singer-Songwriter Katherine Priddy

Cooking Vinyl is proud to announce the signing of Birmingham-based singer-songwriter Katherine Priddy.

Since emerging with her debut EP 'Wolf' in 2018, declared ‘The Best Thing I’ve Heard All Year’ by Richard Thompson, British singer-songwriter Katherine Priddy has quickly become one of the most exciting names in contemporary roots music. Her much-anticipated debut album, ‘The Eternal Rocks Beneath’, was released in 2021 to huge critical acclaim, winning fans from Guy Garvey, Mark Radcliffe, Stuart Maconie and the late Janice Long and garnering glowing press reviews across the board including The Observer, The Sun, Uncut, Songlines, Folk Radio UK and more. Priddy crossed genres, charting at number 1 in The Official UK Folk Chart and number 5 in the Official UK Americana Chart, and rounded off 2021 on Mojo’s Folk Albums of the Year list.

Upon signing to Cooking Vinyl, Katherine Priddy commented :"I am so happy to be embarking on this next musical chapter with the Cooking Vinyl team behind me. It's sometimes a little scary releasing songs you've held so close to your heart for so long out into the world, but with their wealth of experience, as well as their friendly support and guidance, I know my second album is in very safe hands and I'm giving it the best chance possible. I'm incredibly excited to see what we can achieve together.”

Her manager John Fell added: “As Katherine’s manager it has been an honour to watch her art develop in recent years. Signing with such a prestigious label like Cooking Vinyl is a real testament to all hard work that she has put into the project as well as highlighting her potential to grow into an internationally renowned artist. We are both incredibly proud and excited to work with the Cooking Vinyl team on the next stage of Katherine’s career.”

Rob Collins, Cooking Vinyl MD, said of signing Priddy: “Every now and then you come across an artist that touches your heart and soul.  Katherine is one of those so to say I am excited to work with her is an understatement. Big thanks to Katherine and her manager John for trusting Cooking Vinyl and thanks to Jeremy Lascelles at Blue Raincoat for the tip”
