per monthHello - I’m Kat Downs!
I am the Piano Destroyer/Voice/Songwriter/Dreamer for Sit Kitty Sit
the epic Hard Piano Rock Duo.
My main genre is songwriting/performance - but I also do a ton of other creative projects such as videos and blogging and poetry and and and... if you want an in-depth look you can read more here.
1. Sit Kitty Sit's new album, "Tectonic"
We just released our 4th album and for the next two years will be promoting the hell out of it and touring all over the place. You'll see a lot of the behind the scenes and even come on the road with us for Patron-Only live streams.
2. My new Solo Project being born
Cleverly named "Kat Downs" I'm experimenting with live piano/vocals played to electronica-style backing tracks that I'm also creating from scratch. This is all new to me too, so successes and failures abound.
3. New Blogs and Poetry
This year I'm focusing on writing. SKS's new album, "Tectonic", is deeply personal and I've decided to just go ahead and write about all of it. Some blogs and poems will go public after I post them here, some will just be for you guys.
4. Sanity Crafts
As always. When I get stuck on my big-picture stuff I go do small detail-oriented stuff like crochet or lyric sheets, or woodburning, or cooking, or you name it. Activities like that help me sort out my brain. I post pictures of all the stuff I make and some of it goes up for sale on Sit Kitty Sit's Bandcamp page.

Why am I on Patreon?
I am a full-time artist and I have zero interest in signing with a record label - my Dream is to work for YOU. My tribe. My family. Every dollar here helps to support me and Sit Kitty Sit so I can keep making not just more music for you, but more art-of-every-kind for you. (My list of future projects is looooooong). Patreon is also a platform where I can get to know YOU better and you can get to know me better. I'm sort of a private person so there's stuff I'm more comfortable sharing here than all over the rest of the interwebs.
Thank you for helping me make everything I make - I look forward to knowing you better!
