On Friday, October 9, Delaware Friends of Folk will present the first event in their 2026-27 Old State House concert series, inside the Old State House on The Green in Dover. This is the thirteenth season in the series which is produced in cooperation with the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs and First State National Heritage Park and is supported by a generous grant from the Kent County Fund for the Arts. The one-hour performance will begin at 7:30 pm. The concert is free and open to the public. Doors open at 7:00 and seating is limited.

The featured artist is Philadelphia-born singer songwriter Kate Mills. With a laid back, vintage Laurel Canyon musical vibe and disarmingly honest lyrics, Kate is putting her real-life story to song. “I used to be scared to say that music was what I was meant to do,” she confesses. Now New York City-based, Kate spent years living in the shadows of her dreams, attending the University of Pennsylvania and working a safe job as a social worker, all the while writing songs. She released her debut full length album, “Each Bittersweet Drop”, in March 2020. Her storytelling lyrics and emotional perspective are uniquely informed by her time in the social work field. “Many of the things I loved about social work are also why I love music,” she says. “Both create connection. With music, I feel like I can contribute more genuinely to that conversation.” As a performer, Kate has gigged around the country at venerated venues, house concerts, colleges, and festivals. Select highlights include Hotel Cafe in LA, Cutting Room in NYC, Montauk Music Festival, Ladybug Festival, NJ Folk Festival, and Musikfest.

The Old State House concert series is presented by Delaware Friends of Folk.
