About Kate Wolf Kate Wolf repopularized folk music in Northern California in the 1970’s, and went on to national recognition before her untimely passing in 1986 of leukemia. She was the first musician inducted into the NAIRD Independent Music Hall of Fame. You can learn more about Kate and her music on the official Kate Wolf website, maintained by her family.
	About the Festival In June of 1996, the Kate Wolf Retrospective Concert was held to celebrate the music of Kate Wolf. Her friends, family, and a sold-out crowd had such a wonderful time that they decided to make it an annual event. The Kate Wolf Memorial Music Festival started as a one day, one time event. Now in its 14th year, the festival has grown to a three day, three night, camping event at beautiful Black Oak Ranch in Laytonville, 3 hours north of San Francisco. This will be the 9th year at Black Oak Ranch for the Festival.

Special News

Sherry Austin and friends will perform a set of Kate Wolf songs, the much beloved namesake of the festival, on the Music Meadow stage this year on Saturday.

Kate Wolf's old friend, Wavy Gravy, was instrumental in bringing the festival to its current home at Black Oak Ranch in 2001 when we were in desparate search for a new home.

This year we are opening a new area to the festival in honor of the memory of our good friend Utah Phillips. 'Utahpia' will feature a stage, a general store, a place to play board games and some artisans. Utah's son, Duncan will help inaugurate the new stage with a tribute to his dad called "Bums on the Plush". Stay tuned...

Sid Lewis leads folks yearly in Jamming 101, where every one and every instrument are welcome to partake, learn, meet new musical partners and gain confidence in the jamming process.

Greg Brown's double CD, 'In the Hills of California - Live from the Kate Wolf Music Festival 1997-2003' captures some great moments in the festival's history.
