Katherine "KC" Groves (born March 15, 1971) is an American mandolin player and singer specializing in old-time music and bluegrass. She grew up in Dearborn and Northville, Michigan and lives now in Lyons, Colorado. Coming from a musical family, her father is a singer and a country yodeler, she had piano lessons at the age of six, though she hated them[1].

In the early 1990s she began playing guitar, writing songs, and learning mandolin [2]. Soon she established herself in the Ann Arbor/Detroit alternative music scene.[1]. In 1999, she released her first CD, Can You Hear It, produced by Charles Sawtelle, and won the Detroit Music Award for Best Bluegrass Artist/Group.[3][2].

Together with Jo Serrapere she founded the old-time music band Uncle Earl.

Her second solo CD, Something Familiar has been released in 2004.
