Soon after she began singing, she longed to combine her love of words and singing, and set out on a quest to learn how to write a song. Her path led her to Berklee College of Music where she graduated in 2005. She moved to Austin in 2006, planted roots, and continues to grow and thrive in the rich music scene in Central Texas. This year Katie was a 2014 New Folk Finalist at the Kerrville Folk Festival and an Official Southwest Regional Folk Alliance Showcase Artist this fall.

The record spawned the Top 40 single “Someday, Someway,” which rockabilly singer Robert Gordon covered and scored a hit with a year earlier. “Although he was seen as a latter-day Buddy Holly at the outset, he soon proved too talented and original to be anyone but himself.”- Trouser Press. “He writes songs that are melodic, hooky and emotionally true, and he sings and plays them with an honesty and force that still finds room for humor without venom.”--All Music Guide

Saturday 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm	Opening Act! with Skeye	The FALCON 1348 Route 9W Marlboro, NY   See Map
	Native New Yorkers, John and Lindsey, began writing music together in 2008 and dubbed themselves “Skeye.” They embarked on two projects: an endeavor they called “Room Experiments,” and writing original music for their first record. “Room Experiments” involved traveling with recording gear and instruments to indoor and outdoor locations, making videos of musical performances in these spaces. In each location, they experimented with acoustics, ambience, and the space’s general response to sound. Skeye built a collection of these live recordings on Youtube, and gained the attention of a large international following. Skeye has released three albums and is currently producing an EP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiOq6UPm3aI (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP6qpxq195f8AEs4xFJyMHA?spfreload=10)
