Kathryn Lewis Country & Folk Night!

Raised in a family of composers, songwriters, singers, producers, and players, Kathryn (aka Kat) got into music when she was a kid. She started writing music as a teenager, setting Shakespearean sonnets to music, writing trios for strings, and experimenting with pop progressions. After an internship at Quad Studios in Times Square, where she got really good at making coffee, she worked on 4-track recordings at home and assisted on her friends’ studio projects. Early on, she heard some tunes at Coyote Studios in Brooklyn and Ira Heap's studio in Mount Vernon. Her first album credit was as Assistant Producer (credited as Kat Minogue) on the 2001 album, “Wasted Days,” by The Slackers (produced by Vic Ruggiero). (This album is really good!) After studying performance, design, art, art history, classics, and archaeology (at NYU, HB Studios, Hunter, Temple U, and Columbia U), Lewis returned to the stage and studio full-time in 2017.

Since 2017, Kat has co-produced 4 studio projects for Dobro-driven Americana band, Sheriff and The Deputy (released in 2017, 2018, 2019, and forthcoming as soon as we can get 7”s pressed), first assisting, then taking the controls in 2018 as the studio’s Recording and Mixing Engineer. Since 2019 she’s also been mixing, editing, and recording with producer and songwriter, Rob Taube, at his East Village studio, Groove Garden. She’s now building her own studio in BK! Kat loves using found sound because she hears a symphony on the streets.
