Join us for a wonderful evening of original music.

Katie Powderly

Katie is an award-winning musician and songwriter, who has performed live on PBS & NPR stations, and has toured from New York to Colorado, Texas to Tennessee.

She has shared bills with Tony Rice, Del McCoury Band, Yonder Mountain String Band, The Steel Wheels, The Black Lillies, Lake Street Dive, Langhorne Slim, The David Mayfield Parade, and many others.

Her singing and harmonies have been compared to Emmylou Harris (The Alternate Root Magazine), Gillian Welch (Isthmus, Madison, WI) Aiofe O’Donovan (Americana UK) and Gram Parsons (City Paper, Rochester, NY.)

She was also voted “Best Country/Bluegrass Performer” in her former home of Madison, Wisconsin, in the Madison Area Music Awards.

She recently released her sophomore album, Live by the Song, Die by the Song, (Red-Winged Blackbird Records) which is a stripped-down, intimate recording of acoustic Appalachian ballads Powderly wrote one summer while splashing in the Shenandoah River, falling in and out of “love.”

This folky, bluegrass-adjacent recording serves as a contrast to her first album, Slips of the Tongue, a fully-produced Americana album featuring a smoking-hot electrified and electrifying band including such luminaries as Josh Oliver (Watchhouse/Mandolin Orange), Bryn Davies (Tony Rice, Guy Clark, Jack White), Tom Pryor (The Black Lillies), and Jill Andrews (the everybodyfields) and was recorded by Mike Zirkel at Butch Vig's famed Smart Studios in Madison, WI, with significant help from Scott Minor (Sparklehorse.)

When Katie is not on the road sharing her solo musical experiences with audiences across the nation, she is performing with her electric Americana band, The Unconditional Lovers, whose first album will be released this year (2024).

She recently stepped away from her position on the bluegrass bass, playing and singing in hard-driving PA bluegrass band, Dead Horse Revival, which features former members of Mountain Ride.

During Katie’s tenure in the band, Dead Horse Revival recorded and released a 7-track EP of original songs entitled All Hat No Saddle available on streaming platforms everywhere, and won “Best Bluegrass Band” in the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame Awards.

In the past Katie has acted as bluegrass bass sideman for such acts as The David Mayfield Parade and Woody Pines.

Katie Haverly

Katie Haverly is a singer-songwriter “alt-rock polymath” who creates a joyous mesh of soulful pop, jazz, folk, and rock in her passionate live performances. Her music pierces the veil between 1960s and 70s Laurel Canyon ingenuity and modern-day indie magic, twisting and turning between Fleetwood Mac, Joni Mitchell, and The War on Drugs in equal measure. After living in such diverse locales as Colorado, Chicago, North Carolina, Albany, Tucson, and now Rochester, Katie's music displays a wealth of passion, living and maturity. Her songs map the human heart with an understated, but undeniable intensity topped with Katie's languid, yet fierce vocal ability and an impressive lyrical facility. The listener is immediately drawn in, intrigued by what she has to say:

There are singers, and then there are singers - and Katie Haverly's one of the latter, with one of those spectacularly effortless-sounding voices that reaches all over the scale and explores all manner of sound without ever coming across as forced or strident or technically perfect for technical perfection's sake. You hear the human being when she sings, not the studio or room or microphone that makes her sound so good, as the warmth and intimacy of her voice sucks you into the place where melody is pure and singing is an expression of a soul unbound. - Metroland.

Katie has performed solo and with her previous bands The Aviary and Copper & Congress for the last 20 years, with her most recent album Triangulating Line (2023) garnering international praise:

Soul meets indie pop...catchy melodies, carried by cosmopolitan & world-breaking lyrics, ensnared by soulful and just-right instrumentation and production. — Yagaloo 

Katie has had the honor to share the stage with artists such as Macy Gray, Loudon Wainwright III, Chris Isaak, Jake Shimabukuro, Karla Bonoff and others, and has released
