Not tied to a particular genre, Kate Howard prefers to try a variety of styles on for size. Kate is more pop than folk, but she can also be jazzy and is known to rock out on occasion. She creates 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.

Jon Dee Graham (thrice inducted into Austin Music Hall of Fame) calls Kate "the Dorothy Parker of Austin". Tony Scalzo (Wrenfro, Fastball) says of Ms. Howard, “Her lyrics take you to a place no other songwriter will.” Award-winning songwriter Billy Harvey says "I'll never share a stage with Kate Howard again. Too endearing. Too clever with language.”

Kate Howard: Just the Sad Stuff

Since the late 1980s, Kate Howard has been managing symptoms of a neuromuscular condition called Dystonia. Thanks to the support of family, friends in the music community, and friends the world over, Kate was able to have life-changing Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Therapy in December of 2019. Electrodes placed in her brain were connected to a device implanted in her abdomen. Shortly after the surgeries, the device was turned on and charged with electricity. The results have been life-changing, in the best possible way. Kate is grateful to her surgeon, Anant Patel; neurologist, Elizabeth Peckham; and her family and friends for their support.
Many thanks to Gerik Cionsky, Bob Crockett, Adam Day, Shawnee Kilgore, Caleb Roberts, and Winker Withaneye for the photos. Hats off to Dan Jason, M. Edmund Howse, Curt Ganem and Joanna Castillo for the video. Their time and talents are greatly appreciated.
Kate detailed her journey with Dystonia on Adam Sultan's podcast, "Friends with Deficits". Entitled "Life with a Twist", it's a fascinating story that ends well. https://www.friendswithdeficitspodcast.com/the-podcast
