“No matter what weird projects I send Kat's way, she is always open-minded and always knocks it OUT! — regardless of genre or complexity.”

— Jed D.

“Kat is professional, technically proficient, and all that... but what sets her apart is her empathy and ability to emotionally connect with a song, to find something intangible that helps to not only to complete the vision, but expand and deepen it. She is a wonderful person and excellent musician that I would recommend without hesitation.”

— Ken H.

“When Kat works on my songs I always give her the freedom to just do her thing, and she always hits the bullseye. Her playing never gets in the way of a song. She seems to have an instinctive feel for what works. Can't recommend highly enough!”

— Tim C.

“I write and play in a wide variety of styles, and have yet to find any song in any genre that Kat can't make better. Look no further if you need a fiddler with great tone, intonation, musicality, versatility and inspiration.”

— Bruce B.

“I contacted Kat about a song with both a written & improv violin part, and she knocked both out of the park. But what stood out to me the most was how much she communicated throughout the process so I knew exactly what was going on even in the midst of out-of-the-ordinary circumstances due to COVID. It was a great experience!”

— Rachel H.

“Kat went above and beyond…. she made sure that her parts were up to not only my standards but her own, and gave invaluable feedback about what she was hearing. Her ear is amazing!”

— Coty H.

“I've worked with Kat on stage and in the studio in countless different scenarios and every time she serves the songs as a great artist and consummate professional. She understands a broad range of music with immense nuance and has developed wide ranging techniques. For session work as a violinist / fiddler / vocalist, she has great ideas that bring songs to a whole new level and perfectly performs those ideas. I also strongly recommend her as a string arranger.”

— Aaron H.
