Katie is an award-winning songwriter who has performed on PBS & NPR, and has toured from New York to Colorado, Texas to Tennessee. She has shared bills with Tony Rice, Del McCoury Band, Yonder Mountain String Band, The Steel Wheels, The Black Lillies, Lake Street Dive, Langhorne Slim, The David Mayfield Parade, and many others. Her singing and harmonies have been likened to Gillian Welch (Isthmus, Madison, WI) and Gram Parsons (City Paper, Rochester, NY.) She was also voted Best Country/Bluegrass Performer in her home city of Madison, Wisconsin, in the Madison Area Music Awards.

Her debut album, Slips of the Tongue (2012, Red-Winged Blackbird Records), features a hell of a lineup of supporting musicians, including Josh Oliver (Mandolin Orange), Bryn Davies (Jack White, Tony Rice, Guy Clark), Tom Pryor (The Black Lillies), and Jill Andrews (the everybodyfields), and was recorded at Butch Vig's famed Smart Studios in Madison, WI, with significant help from Scott Minor (Sparklehorse.)

Katie now resides in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Maryland after a years-long sojourn across the country. When she's not performing with her electrified Americana band, The Unconditional Lovers, you can find her playing her songs as a solo artist or duo, or acting as a bluegrass bass sideman for such acts as Josh Crews & Friends, The David Mayfield Parade, and Woody Pines.
