Kate Simone
Overview
A violinist of 20+ years, I have a lot of experience in classical, RNB, pop, jazz, folk and more! After graduating with a full scholarship from Berklee College of Music in Boston, I have been teaching masterclasses, private instruction and performing across Austin, TX and the Hill Country area. For your special event, I can provide music for all of the important moments throughout the day (wedding ceremony, birthday parties, cocktail party, corporate event, live performance, etc.)
In addition to performing, I also manage a handful of incredible jazz musicians and work in the music business. I love to travel, and I am newly married to my amazing husband Bryce!

June 4, 2026Very Grateful for Kate!
I had only a month to plan a very special and intimate wedding. Kate stood out to me on gigsalad, had very good communication, fair pricing, a large playlist & flexibility & overall talent! I was so thankful for her arriving early to play for my family who were setting up my wedding. My entire wedding was DIY and having violinist was sooooooo heartfelt! Highly recommend! We are grateful!

December 10, 2024Highly recommend Kate!!!
Kate was absolutely phenomenal and brought so much elegance and emotion to our wedding. Her versatile repertoire impressed our guests, seamlessly blending classical pieces and modern favorites throughout the day. Not only was the music stunning, but she was also professional, punctual, and a joy to work with. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without her incredible talent. Highly recommend Kate for any special occasion!

Booking information
Price range: $200 and up

Additional booking notes
All music is performed acoustically. When requested, a backing track can be provided for most non-classical songs. If a backing track is used, it will be played on my personal bluetooth speaker.
If you feel like there would be a need for additional amplification (~over 250 people), please let me know so we can work out the details. I would recommend getting additional equipment rental through your venue, DJ, etc.
