Katie pearlman is a singer/songwriter/drummer/guitarist and after years of performing all over the u.s. with some of the northeast's most talented musicians including;
husband Jeff Pearlman, formerly of Toni Brown Band One-eyed Jack, and recently, Ronnie Penque of the New Riders of the Purple Sage she is now promoting a very special new project.
Katie Pearlman began playing drums at age 10 and it wasn't long before she was playing in a band. At 16 Katie moved into an apartment and that's when she started playing guitar more and songwriting since drumming was not the most
neighborly thing to do. Katie's songwriting at that time was her means of processing her thoughts and feelings about the world around her as she started moving though the confusing world of high school. To this day it is still her means of processing and exploring her thoughts and feelings. As she progressed into her late teens her songwriting ambition waned as other musical directions competed for her attention.
At age 18 Katie enrolled at William Paterson University and was required to play percussion in the orchestra for two semesters. She then began to explore hand drumming and percussion. This venture led to a turning point in Katie's life. She was actively recruited by a band not far from her home in northern New Jersey called Vibe Theory which became a stepping stone to the band that followed One-Eyed Jack.
It was in this band that Katie was introduced to improvisational music. It also afforded her the opportunity to develop her vocal abilities. The musical chemistry found with keyboardist Jeff Pearlman, outlasted their stay in the band and has continued thru several musical projects.
In 2006 Katie rediscovered her gift for songwriting and In less than a year Katie has composed a complete album of songs and recorded and produced her first solo album.
At this point Katie is exploring all of the possibilities of playing her music. She sees herself as leading her band vocally and musically from behind the drum kit but also has been exploring fronting the band with her acoustic guitar.
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 a 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.
