Born in Toledo Ohio, and trying to sing before she could talk, family and friends would say that Katie must have been born with a microphone in her hand.

Katie moved to Columbus Ohio as a young teenager, and it didn’t take her long to join a Rock and Roll band named Stryder, playing in and around the OSU campus area. Not even close to being of age to be in a bar, Katie managed to sing in them. Throughout the next decade she joined numerous groups with some of the finest musicians Columbus Ohio had to offer.

Katie’s biggest success was building and playing with the band “Dreamer”  in the 80’s. Dreamer was signed with Louisville, KY based Triangle Talent, and after declining an offer to record and tour with world renowned Jeff Beck due to the time and circumstances, she continued touring the US and Canada with Dreamer for many years, playing for audiences that exceeded 10.000 people (Damn! no cell phones then for any recorded memories!).

Other groups followed in her career. ( She could name drop all day long but won’t LOL!) Katie took a few years off to raise her two daughters, one of which is in a signed band gigging in Hollywood California. In 2016 Katie decided that there was a huge hole in her life and heart “MUSIC” She held auditions for 6 months which landed her with the current AWESOME band of fellows that compose this group Katie and the RED HOTS! They have been gigging for just about a year now with an overwhelming approval from all of our audiences. Their fans and audiences comment that they should go straight to America’s got Talent or The Voice. They are veterans of their craft and just want to keep it real in Central Ohio. Much Love.
