Overview
Hello! I recently joined the Gigsalad platform, but I have curated memorable and exciting experiences for others for over 12 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.

Reception - $550
DJ service and additional musicians are available upon request.

October 12, 2026Fall Fest Event (Early Childhood)
We absolutely loved having her perform at The Goddard School of Novi for our annual Fall Fest! She was amazing, and both the children and adults had an absolute blast dancing along to her music.
One of the biggest highlights was when she brought out her saxophone, which made the experience even more special and exciting for everyone! She also brought ribbons and shakers for the children to use, making the performance interactive, engaging, and full of joy. Seeing the kids (and adults) dancing, moving, and having so much fun made the event that much more memorable.
Her energy, talent, and ability to get everyone involved made her performance truly unforgettable. We would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fun, engaging, and memorable musical experience!

September 3, 2026Lovely and Talented musician
Katherine did an amazing job at our wedding! She played keyboard during cocktail hour and then performed an incredible saxophone set alongside our DJ to kick off the dance party. It was such a fun and memorable experience, and our guests absolutely loved it!
We were so lucky to find and book her last minute, and she made the entire process seamless. She did a fantastic job coordinating with both our DJ and event coordinator and brought such great energy to the celebration. We couldn’t have been happier and would highly recommend Katherine for any wedding or special event!
