Katherine Hill is a Celtic harpist who plays for weddings, parties, and other events. She learned to play the harp the traditional Irish way, which was by ear. Her ability to learn songs quickly allows her to create her own arrangements as well as learn songs from various genres.

Born and raised in Southern New Jersey, Hill began studying the harp with Rosalyn Briley. As a teenager, she took lessons from Janet Whitman at the Delaware School of Music, and then from Paula Bressman at Belmont University.

Hill began performing at various venues throughout South Jersey in 2009, from churches to antique stores as well as weddings and private parties. She has recorded two solo albums, and has played as a guest musician for other recording projects. Her television appearances have included being featured on the local program On the King’s Highway and on the local station MIND TV.

Since moving to Nashville, TN in 2011, Hill has performed the National Anthem at the Belmont University Women’s Basketball game, as well as played weddings at the Union Station Hotel, Arrington Vineyards, The Bell Tower, and The Mill at Lebanon. She has also played in the worship team at Midtown Fellowship Church in Nashville.

Now based in Franklin, TN, she is available to play at weddings, small concerts, garden parties, and other events.

Most environments do not require additional sound equipment, as the sound of the harp fills the room quite well. However, some larger events may require the use of a microphone and sound system.
