Christmas with The Katy Free Three

Jazz-chanteuse, Katy Free, after a decade of singing in Knoxville, TN, decided to move to her muse, the Gulf. Now based in Pensacola, FL, she uses her versatile voice to interpret The Great American songbook and jazz-stylings of favorites from every genre. Her love of music began by studying classical voice and applying that to musicals and choirs that toured and performed in prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. While studying musicology and jazz voice at the University of Tennessee Knoxville, she toured the eastern United States sharing her passion for jazz music.

With her wide array of musical experiences, interest in various genres, and her desire to be the very best musician she can be, Katy is in constant study and strives to share her deep love of music with her audiences. Katy Free’s style reveals the soul-baring interpreting power of influences such as Sarah Vaughan, Jane Monheit, and Etta James. She calls on the vocal vulnerability of Joni Mitchell with the versatility of Linda Ronstandt while reflecting the instrumental influence of the greats like Thelonious Monk and Chet Baker. Her musicality, savvy use of drama, and creativity are spurred by influences from Sammy Davis Jr. to Post Modern Jukebox. Katy, above all, gives of herself to her listeners in shows and recordings that are all her own.

Katy will be joined by Melo Allen on keys and Marcus George on bass!
