Artist History Kat Parsons is a performer first and foremost. Her self-penned songs resonate with her ever-growing following. Possessing a voice of incredible range, strength and feeling, she intuitively connects with audiences in literally any setting. Humor, wit and grace inhabit her wistful original material, which she has been performing over the last year in everything from clubs to outdoor stages to coffeehouses, solo and with accompaniment. As a recent live review stated, ''Kat Parsons played her acoustic heart out on a gigantic stage only to dominate every inch of it.'' Since the release of her debut album, Framing Caroline (Waterdog Music), she has toured across the United States and in Europe, garnering praise worldwide for her singing and her songs, making waves in the independent music scene. In press, (The Onion, Chicago Tribune's Metromix, & Songwriter's Monthly), on radio, (WRNR, WLUW, WBEZ), and perhaps most importantly, from the crowds themselves.

Press Reviews "Fresh, youthful and alive....." seelife.co.uk "Standing Still and Remains were a powerhouse, the demure smile and alost unknowing sex appeal gave way to an amazon that was as delightful as it was unexpected....The real delight of the evening was listening to something other than ear candy. Sure it was challenging, sure it wasn't easy but there is everything right about extending an audience. As for Parsons she is definitely one for the future." Berwick Advertiser The effect is magnificent, and it is obvious that she is having the time of her life.... Parsons has talent, enthusiasm and stage presence and the ambition and potential to be one of the stars of tomorrow." Pennyblackmusic.com "Parsons' voice provided the soul and grit..." -Triste (Manchester, England) "A refreshing joy.." Songwriters Monthly
