Bio

Daughter & The NYC-based duo Daughter & Son consists of two inspiring and individual artists: Jody Shelton and Mighty Kate. What happens when the two Indie darlings come together serendipitously to form an elegant singer/songwriter duo? Sonic magic.

Aside from his effortless voice, boundless musicianship and critically acclaimed songwriting, Jody Shelton also has an impressive background as a sideman and musical director – most notably with Chicago’s Second City National Touring Company. As composer and lyricist, he recently co-wrote the musical parody 50 Shades! The Musical, (currently running in New York, and touring the US and Europe). His partner, multi-instrumentalist Mighty Kate, also packs a powerful artistic punch. Relix Magazine calls this silver-throated singer-songstress a “gifted one”, and Independent Songwriter Magazine dubs her “a visionary”. She was also most recently seen on the Broadway stage, originating the role of “Song Woman” in the Tony Award winning Play, War Horse, at Lincoln Center.

The birth of Daughter & Son dates back to 2008 when Jody and Kate’s managers fixed them up on a ‘songwriter-blind-date’, pairing the two up for a string of New York City performances. It quickly became evident that the two established artists—with 7 solo records between them—were complimentary talents as well as kindred spirits. Soon after, they began touring nationally as a solo-artist double bill. Their mutual musical appreciation and natural chemistry inspired an undeniable creative partnership, and Daughter & Son was born.

D&S made their official New York debut at Rockwood Music Hall in late 2012, and released their debut EP last spring. With a new EP arriving on June 10th, 2014, they plan to hit the ground running, touring North America and Europe in the coming year.
