Kate York

Kate York (born 1976 or 1977) is a singer-songwriter known for her work on the TV show Nashville.

Music career

Born in southern California, York moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in 1999.[1]

York has been part of several bands, including Skyline Motel (with Sarah Buxton, Daniel Tashian, and Ian Fitchuk) and Thompson, York & Nash (with Leigh Nash and Megan Thompson).[2]

York has co-written songs for and with a number of recording artists, including Jonny Diaz, Fall Out Boy, Foreigner, Mat Kearney, Lady A, and Little Big Town. She secured sync placements in TV series such as Atypical, Batwoman, Grey's Anatomy, and Virgin River and films such as After, New Years Eve, and Wild Rose.[3][4]

York achieved notoriety through her contribution of nearly twenty songs to the TV series Nashville.[3] One of her songs, "Nothing in This World Will Ever Break My Heart Again" (co-written with Sarah Buxton), received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics. The nomination was pulled, however, because the song was not written for a show character, which was one of the nomination requirements.[5][1]

York's most critically acclaimed song (as of December 2021) is "Glasgow (No Place Like Home)" (co-written with Mary Steenburgen and Caitlyn Smith), which was featured in the 2018 film Wild Rose. The song made the Oscar short list and received best original song nominations from the Chicago Indie Critics Awards, the Gold Derby Awards, the Guild of Music Supervisors, the Latino Entertainment Journalists Association, Music City Film Critics' Association, and the Online Film & Television Association.[6][7][8][9] It won the 2020 best original song award from the Awards Circuit Community Awards, Critics Choice Movies Awards, Denver Film Critics Society, Georgia Film Critics Association, Hollywood Critics Association, Houston Film Critics Society, International Online Cinema Awards, and the North Dakota Film Society.[7][10][11][12]
