Katherine Bloom is an American folk singer-songwriter based in Litchfield, Connecticut. Bloom was born and raised in New Haven, CT, where she learned to play guitar among the headstones of her local cemetery. She met avant-garde guitarist Loren Mazzacane Connors in 1976 and together they recorded six limited edition albums of fragile folk and blues melodies between 1981 and 1984. After her collaborations with Connors, Bloom entered a period of child-rearing and family life, returning to recording in the early 90s.
