Nobody writes a song the way that Kate Howard does. Her music is more indie pop than folk, with an emphasis on "indie". She creates vignettes with memorable characters with warped minds and shattered hearts. Whether the song is funny, poignant, or a combo platter, Kate’s performance is always honest and captivating.

As a girl in Savannah, GA, Kate was in choir for 7 years. She longed to perform solo or in a duo or trio but was never selected. At age 48, she started singing backup vocals for Austin musicians. At age 50, Kate wrote her first song. At age 61, she's written over 400 tunes; plays gigs regularly; and just released an EP produced by John Chipman entitled
"I'm Not Here to Help You".
