Kathryn is absolutely PHENOMENAL! She and her guitarist were able to build a cover of a specific song that I had requested and it turned out even better than I could have imagined. I was traveling to the Chicago area for and was planning a surprise proposal at Buckingham Fountain. As I live >5hrs away I actually was not able to meet up with Kathryn or her guitarist even once before the event. We spoke a great deal over text and email about what I wanted from the event/the song, and she always responded very promptly and was very attentive to my needs/desires, she even provided suggestions for ideas that I had not yet thought of which I loved. When the day came, I had also found a local photographer via thumbtack and Kathryn was even kind enough to coordinate directly with the photographer to make sure everything was in place and every detail was perfect (AND THEY HAD NEVER MET BEFORE EITHER!!!). My now Fiancee thought there were just having fun playing music by the fountain and had no idea they were there for us. Kathryn and I had set up a little signal for when I was ready for them to start playing my requested song, and it all went off without a hitch! The proposal went off without a hitch, and we COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. Kathryns attention to customer needs is amazing, her professionalism cannot be beat, and her musical talent is world class. 5 Stars is not enough. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

Kathryn and her band were wonderful to work with! We had a small wedding (30 guests) and their music really brought it to life and gave it a really special celebratory feel even with our small group. Part of the band played during the ceremony and cocktail hour and the music was very elegant. They were all extremely talented. For the dancing portion they had a great amount of energy and learned a lot of the songs that we sent along as references in addition to special songs like our first dance. They even took an impromptu request for a kids song and nailed it :) Kathryn was also really fantastic about going with the flow of the event and being flexible and communicative as an MC. Highly recommend!

I met Kathryn at a local cafe. She was performing with Aylon the night my fiancee and I were engaged and they were both AMAZING! Not only professional and lovely performers, but also lovely people. We hired them for our what was supposed to be July 2020 wedding (pre-covid) to recreate the night we got engaged. While we did not end up having our wedding, Kathryn has been responsive and flexible with us as we navigate this odd world. Thank you, Kathryn!

Such a pleasure to work with. A bright spot during uncertain times, Kathryn did an amazing job at our St Patrick's Day celebration.

Kathryn and Josh were absolutely wonderful. I booked Kathryn to play for my surprise engagement. She was very responsive from the beginning. My goal was to surprise my girlfriend (now fiance) for the engagement. The plan was tricky, but Kathryn made the process very simple. She initially provided a list of songs that she is comfortable with playing which included folk, indie, country, pop and more. She has an awesome selection of 60s Motown, Jazz and some originals (one of which she played). There were a few songs that were special to my fiance that I requested for her to play. Even with one week notice, Kathryn and Josh played the songs masterfully. She was also very accommodating. Our plan was to have her and Josh set up in my apartment complex while we were out to eat. In the interim, she was very prompt with messaging to make sure things were set up and played on queue. She was able to work with whatever situation I provided (indoors/outdoors, timing of events, etc.). They were even able to adjust the volume of their sound when I popped the question. Most importantly, the music was very lovely. Having them play shortly after proposing made for such a memorable experience that I will treasure forever. Thank you again Kathryn and Josh for the wonderful experience. Matt

FAQs
- What types of customers have you worked with?I perform frequently as part of a duo/trio/quartet/quintet (the size of the group is dependent on the size of the venue and the client's specific needs) at clubs, restaurants, wineries, weddings, and private events. I have a large book of jazz standards, but I also perform in the indie/folk/country and pop genres. I teach voice and piano lessons to all ages & skill levels, but I prefer to teach older (high school and above) students. I also have skills in music transcription and arranging and am available for this type of work, as well.
