Hailing from Long Island, NY, singer/songwriter, Katie Pearlman, has been working overtime to get her eclectic sound heard by music fans all over the country. “Katie Pearlman is a multi-instrumentalist who primarily plays drums, but also is adept at guitar. She sings with melodic soulful ease as she keeps the beat,” said Bob Smith of Good Times Magazine. In 2008 and beyond, Katie is looking to find her place and voice in the musical world and the world at large. These searches are evident if you listen to her songs. The Northeast In-tune Magazine stated, "Katie Pearlman could just as surely become the next Don Henley, as her natural vocal talent, united with her drumming expertise creates an unbridled fusion of rhythm and vocals."
Katie’s band consists of husband Jeff Pearlman (Toni Brown Band, One-Eyed Jack) ..s, Tom Bowler (Bathtub Gin, Rozescantina) on bass, and Joe Cesare (The Cleftones, John Ford) on guitar. Katie and the band have a unique setting when they perform...they put Katie and her drums up front and the rest of the band members around her. They are currently doing regional tours to support Dreaming Again.
With Katie, things never stay in one place, they are always reinventing themselves (even this bio!), so the one thing to be sure of is that the vision of the future is and will be a work in progress. What seems to be a recurring theme with Katie, though, is her inner search for truth and understanding of herself and the world she’s part of. This search is now being explored through writing and performing music as well as looking to find her place and voice in the musical world and the world at large. These searches are evident if you listen to her songs. The lyrical and emotional content tend to resonate within many people, and her growing audience seems to find reflections of their own searching and struggles in her work. As Katie has become aware of the connections she’s making with these former strangers, now kindred spirits as well as fans, she has become more inspired to perform her music, feeling that if her performance reaches but one person, it has been worth the effort.
