Hello - 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.

COME HANG OUT WITH ME! We will have so much fun!

Here's what I'm currently working on:
1. Sit Kitty Sit's new album, "Tectonic"
We haven't released an album in four long years and you get to watch all the behind the scenes of getting this incredible record out the door and into your hands.

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!

Hello, Clarice.  I love you.  

Crack open your laptop, a great bottle of wine and invite all your friends over, because I'm putting on a virtual concert just for you!  Live via Skype!  Songs by request!  Ability to ask in depth questions about lyrics or stories from the road or whatever.  Until we're too tired to go on.  It will be epic.

If I'm releasing an album into the entire world, then I do need to take these fancy tracks I record at home to actual professional engineers to be mixed and mastered.  And I have to hire a manufacturing company to physically create the disks.  And that's what hitting Goal #4 means!  A full-length solo album!  My first since 2005, you guys!!   How awesome would that be?!?!?!?!   Go Team!!!
