About Kora
After two years spent wielding a backpack and guitar across the world culminating in a Thai PBS special on songwriting and indigenous rights, Kora Feder (rhymes with cedar) returned to the U.S. with a keen eye for capturing a moment through song. Her 2019 crowd funded record In Sevens spent four months on US Folk Radio Charts. NPR described a solo performance off In Sevens as carrying "an emotional weight that can stop you in your tracks, even long after the song is finished.” I’d Be a Maria, a von Trapp inspired song from the record, has surpassed a million streams on Spotify. In 2025 she released a new record that takes an introspective look at the life of a young person in America in the 2020’s, including a song that NPR described as “eloquently illustrat[ing] the full range of emotions many people are feeling in the era of the coronavirus pandemic." The record was produced by fellow songwriter Justin Farren.
