A Night with Kat King: PROM NIGHT! {Special Guests TBA}

Showtime 9p | $10 Admission | 21+ Only

Kat King's career started as far back as 2nd grade in small town Kansas. Accompanied by her acoustic guitar and piano in her early career, Kat tugged at the heartstrings of listeners with her clever and cryptic in-the-closet love ballads. As a solo singer-songwriter act, she produced one 13 song album and three EP's, the first one released at the age of 14. Now based in Kansas City, Kat King graduated into a 5-piece indie-pop rock group who just released their first EP together.

Within the first week of their debut single “Don’t Wanna Lose,” the group surpassed 2,000 streams with less than 300 Spotify followers and the single made it in regular rotation on Kansas City’s local station 90.9 The Bridge. It was voted in at second place for The Bridge’s listeners choice of “Best Songs of 2021.”

On June 9th, the group released their first 5-song EP together titled “Say What You Mean.” The EP captures audiences with feelings of love, loss, and self-acceptance while simultaneously inviting listeners to get up and dance. According to Skylar Rochelle (host of The Z Show), the EP is “full of bops” and I Heart Local Music has described King as “your local Carly Rae Jepson.”

Through different musical projects, Kat has opened for an impressive list of artists including Creed Bratton, Houndmouth, Nathaniel Rateliff, Leon Bridges, Ohmme, Lomelda, Hembree, and The Oh Hellos.

Sophie Johnson of Manor Records says King is “highly regarded for her ability to hustle in the music scene.” She’s known to bounce from a multitude of instruments, the most recent addition being the keytar. As a sought after musician, she’s accompanied many acts from keys to lead guitar, the latest being Katy Guillen and The Drive.
