Listeners say Kaia Fowler’s music “speaks to the soul.” Through song, Kaia evokes transcendence and comfort even while witnessing difficult topics like personal loss, social inequality, and our fragile Earth. Her music explores challenges, embraces resilience, and celebrates the joy of being alive, even in times of sorrow. A versatile guitarist, with a wonderful vocal range, Kaia’s songs range from vibrantly melodic finger style tunes to blues rock songs with rhythmic strumming and powerful vocals. Kaia’s warm energy and authenticity invite listeners to transcend the day-to-day in a way that only music can.
Often compared to singers like Joni Mitchell, Emmylou Harris, and Joan Baez, Kaia also shows the bluesy influence of artists like Bonnie Raitt. A finalist in the Great River Folk Festival songwriting competition, her writing stands out for its lyrical detail and melodic phrasings that take advantage of her wide vocal range. A review by The Americana Gazette says, “Kaia Fowler is a tremendous lyricist. Her lyrics paint pictures and her musical notes add the color.” Selections from her 2010 album Seams of My Heart received radio play on Women of Substance Radio. Kaia’s 2015 album, an EP titled All The Way, is dedicated to her husband who died of pancreatic cancer, with sales benefiting the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. A new album, One Breath, is scheduled for release soon.
