Katy Bowser
Songwriters have been dubbed the astronauts of human experience- called to dive daringly into what they see and feel, and live to tell about it. Katy Bowser has taken up the challenge wholeheartedly. Katy has been playing across the US for four years, piquing the curiosity and attention of audiences, coaxing them to look at things from a different vantage.

Katy's latest offering is a boldfaced and poetic look at mystery, relationship, pain, joy and waiting. This work is marked by a musical and personal maturing, and a stylistic coming into her own. With a smorgasbord of folk, rock, jazz and Celtic colors, Longing has been called Americana in the truest sense of the music.

Longing is the fruit of a rich season of living, learning and crafting. Katy's sophomore project is produced by Russ Long (Sixpence None the Richer, Over the Rhine) and marked by the work of seasoned players such as Chris Donohue (Over the Rhine, Vigilantes of Love, Fleming & John), Ken
Lewis (David Wilcox, Phil Keaggy) Chris Grafagnino (Wes Cunningham) and Kenny Meeks (Jan Krist, Phil Madeira, Sixpence, Buddy Miller).

The past year's touring highlights include a two week west coast tour, a two week New England tour and a month on the road with grassroots rock
band Waterdeep touring the east coast, to great response. Katy's music has led Katy to feature performances at Gavin award-winning WNCW, NPR's nationally renowned Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour, Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium and Belcourt Theatre. Katy has contributed songs to multiple compilations, including Awakening Vol. 3 and all three of the Indelible Grace projects. Of course, she is still making the rounds to
coffeehouses, clubs, colleges and listening rooms. Longing stirred attention in circles both in and out of Nashville. However, Katy is not waiting for her proverbial break. She is preparing for a return to the
studio, and hitting the road again- putting her heart and art back out on the line for old and new crowds alike.
