Hi, I’m Katy. I’m an artist based in New York.

news/upcoming shows:

My third album, Patterns (a covers album in collaboration with Will Graefe) is out on Glamour Gowns (as of 8/29/2025).

The latest video, for my song ‘Oranges,’ is out (as of May 2025). It is inspired by Sergei Parajanov’s ‘Color of Pomegranates,’ possibly my favorite film ever.

My sophomore album, Strange Behavior, came out in February 2025 on Glamour Gowns. Album digital downloads and vinyl / CD orders available here.

I just returned from a west coast solo tour (Nov 2025). In the midst of that I did a week-long teaching residency on song-writing and the music of storytelling for 8th graders in Phoenix, AZ.

In the spring of 2025 I completed a month-long tour in support of Strange Behavior. The tour went up and down the east coast. It was the start of what’s become an ongoing practice: I brought my puppets and crankbox with me on tour and made a different performance/story every night around the songs.

I put on an interdisciplinary album release puppet show (the origin of said puppets) at The Sultan Room on 2/25, with support from Jana Horn and Black Lazarus.

I opened for Kyp Malone in November 2021, at Chelsea Music Hall.

I host/facilitate Foolishly Use the Force and Ride the Chariot - an experimental performance event devoted to offering a safe space for artists to take on the fool mentality and try out new things at the edges of their practices. The event began as a monthly gathering at Cloud City in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and is now more sporadic and nomadic. Most recent iterations were in September 2021 at the historic East River Park amphitheater, just before its demolition and May 2022 at KGB bar in Manhattan.

I starred in the film Alexa Echoes, originally written for live theatre by Amanda Turner Pohan but reconcieved as a film. Premiering in February 2021, it was shot at the Curtis R.

It was also screened at the 2023 Images Festival in Toronto and in New York as part of NewFilmmakersNY, Anthology Film Archives, in July 2024

In January 2021 I published a essay about time, distance and intimacy with Total Theatre Magazine in the UK.

I created and continue to develop EEEE what is the sound of this shadow, a poem-play about the mythical Eurydice which premiered in 2019 at Dixon Place, New York City.

In the summer of 2020 I showed video work ‘Desire for Language’ as part of a group show at Pablo’s Birthday Gallery in New York.

I conceived of and orchestrated BIRD CALL, an experiment in group listening and collective performance practice. It premiered at the Old Baths in Hackney Wick, London in January 2020. The work, inspired by the “sensitive cacophony” of birds, is an unbroken/overlapping chain of interdisciplinary performance.

In May 2016 at Dixon Place I performed I Should Save This - a devised, verbatim AIM play, co-created with Lily Akerman and Sash Bischoff from found transcripts of my AIM conversations in high school.
