Overview

Hello! I recently joined the Gigsalad platform, but I have curated memorable and exciting experiences for others for over 10 years - both with bands and solo. I'm a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist (piano, saxophone, ukulele). Jazz, blues, gospel and classic pop like Carole King are some of my go to styles, at the same time I'm a trained contemporary singer and vocal coach so I perform all styles. I love providing music for: Weddings, corporate events, anniversaries, memorial services, assisted living homes, birthday parties, and Christian worship events.
Starting rate for weddings - $450.
DJ service and additional musicians are available upon request.

Wonderful pianist/singer

Katherine was absolutely SUPERB for our Mom’s 90th birthday celebration! She was excellent from the start and 💯on point with our party needs! After I explained that our party would include family and friends from ages 2-94, I could hear in her voice her enthusiasm for the event! She came in early to set up, and played favorite music as our guests arrived. The music was not too loud, in fact just right throughout, and some little egg shakers to shake to the music. She brought her keyboard with her, but she also plays traditional piano as well. The 90 year old Birthday girl requested”Tenderly” and Clare de Lune. Katherine performed both selections so beautifully, our Mom was moved to tears! Katherine aims to please with any and all genres of music! She fulfilled all requests with grace and smiles! She is extremely easy going, and simply wonderful to work with for any sized event. Ours was 60 people total, including the 12 little ones. We would hire Katherine for any event, party, or wedding event! I graduated college as a music major, and I know a great performer when I see/hear one. Katherine is the real deal! She is personable, brilliant, talented, and a fun addition to any event where a great singer/pianist is needed! 🎹🎵🎶🎼

You will be blessed!

My now husband and I first met Katherine at a community event and then had the privilege of hearing her perform again shortly afterward.

My now husband and I also met at the same event that we first met Katherine!

When the time came, we knew we wanted Katherine to be a part of our wedding day.

Our wedding came together very quickly, and Katherine was incredibly flexible, accommodating, and easy to work with throughout the process. She is not only exceptionally gifted and talented, but truly anointed in her ministry through music.

What began as a professional connection has grown into a meaningful friendship, and honestly she has become more like family.

Katherine takes the time to listen to your vision and desires, then adds her own unique flair and creativity to make it even more beautiful than you could have even imagined.

I highly recommend Katherine for any event or occasion where music is needed. Her heart, talent, professionalism, and passion shine through in everything she does.

Wonderful Person and Performance

I was incredibly fortunate to have Katherine and her father, Howard perform at a recent funeral service I was the funeral director and officiant for. Her talent, presence, and sensitivity to the moment were truly exceptional. She brought everything she needed and more and also a level of grace and emotion that deeply resonated with everyone present. I would recommend her for any event where music is needed as he knowledge is vast, without any hesitation for any service where music truly matters.

Talented Musician

Hiring Katherine to perform at my mother’s funeral service was one of the best decisions I made during an incredibly difficult time. From the start, she was kind, compassionate, and easy to work with. She took the time to help curate songs that truly honored my mother, and her beautiful voice brought every one of them to life. Multiple guests commented that the music was a perfect reflection of who my mother was. I was amazed at the breath of her musical expertise. She’s incredibly talented! I can’t recommend her highly enough.
