“A sensational performer whose dedication to the American Popular Song makes her a must-see.”

Andrea Marcovicci 

“The most compelling performer…Her deep rich voice coddles her songs.  More important, she invests each with emotional urgency.”                                                                                 Newsday


“What a pleasure it was to be with you at your concert/show last night. You shared your heart, your talent, and your beautiful spirit with everyone in that hall. Every lucky one of us. Brava and Congratulations.                                 Theresa Statz-Smith, Executive Director, Long Island Arts Alliance


SO Much enjoyed your Holiday Show!  You were absolutely terrific--a wonderfully animated story teller, comedienne, and vocalist!”       Chris Frederick, former TV Producer, The Family Channel


“Your outstanding performance was throughly enjoyable.  The presentation was very well received by our residents.  They loved the interaction!  It was a pleasure to have you as part of our program this season.”        Sharon A. Betz, Assistant Director Community Relations, Town of Oyster Bay                                    


“Kate's performances combine familiar songs, new interpretations of standards, and contemporary selections connected with a very warm, personal narrative.  She invites the audience into her living room.  You do not want to leave and look forward to returning.  Kate makes each audience member feel as if she is singing and speaking directly to them.  She brings a wide range of talent as an actress and as a singer to every performance and is a definite crowd pleaser.”

Marcia Singer, Director of Cultural Activities, Patrons of the Arts

“We've always been impressed by the fact that every concert was based upon a beautiful theme and each song that you chose was so consistent with the theme.  However, it was your knockout delivery of the material that really brought it all home to us, sometimes with a tear.”

Adele S. Deerson, Attorney at Law

“You not only succeeded to fill our house but you brought down the house!  You gave a wonderfully professional and entertaining performance and we are eager to have you back.  Many patrons came over to me afterwards and thanked us for presenting you and asked when you would be returning.  Thank you also for selecting such great repertoire which enabled us to see your talent and ability to evoke so many different moods and colors.  Brava!”

Elysa LeBron, Programs Director, Rockville Centre Library

“Thank you so much for the wonderful performance.  It was a revelation to me that you could capture their voices so well and make it interesting for the kids.  It was a great hit.”

Elly Shodell, Local History Center Director, Port Washington Public Library

“We so truly enjoyed your wonderful show.  You are an extraordinarily talented singer and a most accomplished entertainer...What a delightful way to spend an afternoon.”               Bob and Carla F.
