Your enthusiasm & spontaneity made an impression on everyone--children & adults! Thank you for making our Rose Petal Jam one to remember. Please feel free to share this with others who are looking for homespun, lively & entertaining family fun."

October 23, 2021Mrs. Kate came to our school Fall Festival and played two shows! She captivated the audience which ranged in age from infants to seniors!!! “An interactive show” is an understatement!! She is able to get small children, teenagers and adults up front performing, dancing and laughing! At the end of the shows I heard a guest say, “What a fun night!” The children came into school the next day singing her songs and we have integrated them into our music program! We are truly grateful we had her come to our festival and cannot wait to have her back with us!

July 31, 2019Tim and Kate, thank you for entertaining at Cavalier ND. I was your camping neighbor, Linda. Sunday morning you were singing hymns at your camper; it was beautiful! I knew the songs and sang along at my site. Thank you for the good bye note. May God continue to use your talents to reach and teach others 🙏 God bless you both 🙂

When you book Mrs. Kate for your event, you are providing your audience WHOLESOME FAMILY FUN! Mrs. Kate's performance is interactive, high-energy, dynamic and motivational. The audience is always a part of the show. She comes with an excellent sound system, sidekick puppets and interesting props. Often parents comment after a show, "My child is so shy...I can't beLIEVE she got up on stage with Mrs. Kate and participated in the show!"
Is your event geared to adults? If you are looking for clean comedy, then Mrs. Kate is a great choice. She pokes fun at computers, merchandise made in China, wrinkles, bounce houses and more.
"Mrs. Kate" Carpenter hails from the tiny town of Callahan, Florida, and travels throughout the southeast making families smile with her homespun folk music. Accompanying herself on the guitar, this prolific songwriter has recorded 11 original CD's and 2 children's music videos in the past 22 years. She performs over 150 shows a year, delighting audiences of all ages. Mrs. Kate’s specialty is electrifying preschool and elementary school children. Using catchy tunes, puppetry, unusual instruments, and riveting storytelling, her interaction with audiences of all ages is creative and unforgettable. She has inspired students in over 395 schools with her "Motivate with Mrs. Kate" show. Summers find her touring the public library circuit, promoting reading with her "Crack a Book" song and the unforgettable "Hug-a-Bug-a-Boo." Mrs. Kate is a featured performer at the Florida Folk Festival, Pinecastle Pioneer Days, and headlined the children's stage at the Alabama Chicken and Egg Festival.
