Kate Yeager - Kate creates candid and teeth-gritting ear-worm pop, for those who are looking to be lost and are looking to be found. She wants the personal but universal messages in her music to create intimate connections through honest and cheeky lyrics and catchy melodic lines with tinges of blues and soul. When Kate was growing up, she faced bullying both in-person and online. Now, she strives to create the music that she ran to, the music was there for her when others weren’t. Kate's philosophy is that her music is building a home - a home in which people's differences and identities aren't muted but rather celebrated. After playing all over the country and abroad, Kate is currently working on new music to release into the world. @KateYeagerMusic www.kateyeagermusic.com

"Music is the one truly universal language that exists in the world today. It allows individuals of all abilities to participate and express themselves through a common voice. Our desire is to use the transformative and empowering force of music to build a bridge between our community and the general public" - Daniel's Music Foundation
