Kate Downing & Nathan Moore
Kate Downing and Nathan Moore, AKA Monday Morning Denial, are a folk music duo featuring husband-and-wife songwriters. Avowedly working-class in allegiance and radical in their politics, they craft songs that champion the struggles of everyday people to make the world a better place.
Since 2007, Kate and Nathan have been the main songwriters in the “underdog folk” band Low Tide Drifters. They have performed everywhere from folk festivals union halls, released two full-length albums, and their songs have gained national and international radio airplay. As activist-musicians, they have also performed at numerous fundraisers for labor unions, human rights groups, and other community-based organizations.
In 2015, Kate and Nathan began performing as Monday Morning Denial. Their shows are infused with humorous storytelling, rabble-rousing politics, and catchy choruses. With little patience for the self-indulgent navel-gazing and instrumental noodling that pervades contemporary acoustic music, Monday Morning Denial creates down-to-earth songs rooted in the real-life experiences of working people. Whether singing about the labor movement, radical history, parenthood, or any number of other subjects, Kate and Nathan believe that folk music should always put forth the question that Florence Reece so poetically asked in 1931 when she penned her classic labor song–that is, “Which Side Are You On?”
