“Soundgarden meets PJ Harvey meets Florence & The Machine.” 

 

Bittersweet angst and optimism weave through Katelyn Convery’s music, piercing the frontier of modern alt-rock, and harkening back to the edgy era of 90s NW grunge, with textures characteristic of early 2000s indie-pop. Alluring melodies, compelling chord-changes, and perceptive, unapologetic lyrics land as a ferocious, buttery roar - explosive and soothing all at once. 

 

Originally from Portland, Katelyn grew up listening to local FM radio station 94.7 NRK which served up alt rock like Nirvana, Elliot Smith, Pearl Jam, Alanis Morrisette, Garbage, & Modest Mouse. At the age of 22, she left the US to work and live abroad in South Korea, Spain, & South Africa for eight years. “As an outsider, my constant companions were my guitar and voice. I ran to songwriting to make sense of everything I was experiencing and began a relationship with music-making that continues to carry me through.”

 

Katelyn’s songwriting has earned her a place on two PDX Pop Now compilation albums with songs American Dream & Extraordinary Love, which she co-produced with bandmate Timothy Karplus. With dance-able beats and captivating lyrics, Katelyn delivers a dynamic, riveting, & simply unforgettable live performance enhanced by the talents of Timothy Karplus, Mark Powers, Blake Johnston and Nate Purscelley.
