About SHE SPEAKS IN TONGUES//// MUSIC + PERFORMANCE
“My work is about reclaiming agency. It is about giving voice and liberation to what was repressed and silenced.”
Described by Sasha Geffen as "Best Feminist Rock n' Roll Exorcism" SHE SPEAKS IN TONGUES is artist and vocalist Kate McCandless. Armed with body, voice and a fierce, shamanic energy, SHE SPEAKS IN TONGUES often lures with nostalgia - simultaneously embracing and questioning its comfort and authority with a dark, feminist bent. McCandless creates and performs her work both solo, and in collaboration with other musicians. The affect is jarring, haunting, and a cathartic call to healing.
McCandless is originally from Northern California. She studied Theatre, Performance and Poetry at North Park University in Chicago, IL. She has performed as an actor, musician, and performance artist in the Chicago area for over 10 years. She now resides and in Kansas City, MO with her partner and child.
