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, NY, 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 is 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.


Haverly 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 of opening for artists including Macy Gray, Loudon Wainwright III, Chris Isaak, Jake Shimabukuro and others, and has released 9 full length albums to date. She also has recently expanded her creative interests into filming, directing and editing her own music videos. These include Home, which captures a 12 day solo journey to Kyoto, Japan to process some challenging heartbreak, and Nothing But You, a documentary of her father's family from 1942-1977.​ Haverly also regularly composes music for television, film and dance and also works as a producer with other artists.
