Go directly to iTunes and download Kate and Blake's Letters and Words-EP. If you like Acoustic Folk (which is what iTunes calls it) you will want to download this album. It's only 4 songs and they are great. Kate goes to Pepperdine and grew up going to Riverside (where we go to church). It is so fun to me that this sweet girl from our church is finding success with her music. She is really good and will be the newest member of Won by One at Pepperdine next year!

Blake & Kate were in the top folk albums at lala.com when I discovered them. Really liked the albumart of their debut EP; and actually made me trying their music. I'm glad it did, else I've would've missed the four songs from their nice folky debut EP. If you dig harmonies this is a must! Blake Mankin resides in Austin, Texas and Kate Pauley calls Malibu, California her home. Blake attends the University of Texas while Kate attends Pepperdine University. Blake and Kate are in a long distance relationship. They have been dating since they went to the same high school in Coppell, Texas. Letters and Words E.P. was recorded over their winter holiday in 2008 with producer and engineer Matt Lucas. The songs were dreamed, developed, and written as a result of their shared passion for not only creating music, but using that music to tell stories of love and to explore the injustices found in society today. What was first conceptualized as a recording meant only to include two vocal tracks and an acoustic guitar transformed into a recording filled with a variety of instruments played by their hometown friends. For now, Blake & Kate plans to play shows in the summertime, on breaks, and during their spontaneous weekend trips to each others' states.

Okay, so this is really weird. I've had one of their songs on my iPod for a while now and didn't even know who they were! It was one of those late nights when I couldn't sleep, and was just combing through itunes. I think that iTunes Genius recommended it. So I listened and bought because I loved their folk sound. Small world.
