Mal Murphy and Laura Karels presents the fourth Women of Kato series hosted by Nakato Bar & Grill on Thursday May 8th 5-7pm. Stacy K, Kara Karels, Michelle Roche, and Lara Marttini will play their acoustic sets on the Nakato patio*. This event will begin with solo sets from the musicians, followed by a collaborative set.
*Weather permitting
Kara Karels Firstly inspired by her grandpa’s folk singing living room sessions, Kara started writing strange little songs & would record them on the family’s video camera. Picking up guitar at around 13, an outlet was born for teenage angst.
Her music is heavily influenced by whimsy, heartbreak & the thousands of cd’s she bought in her youth.
When she’s not finishing all the half written song ideas in her notebooks, Kara can be found making soup, taking pictures of her animals or foraging thrift stores for more wall decor.
Stacy K plays adventurous roots rock that puts everything on the table; small town love, old cars, sobriety or lack thereof, and happiness - and no genre is off limits; Harry Nilsson-esq pop to Lucinda Williams like blues dirges show up. With the grit to prove it, Stacy K is a wrangler of kids, songs, chickens, sobriety, and a melody with a background rooted in the working class.
Michelle Roche writes music that sounds like: 🌈☀️🏝🌟🪄🎹🎶 and feels like: 🙂🤓🧐😻🥹😁… but mostly 😁.
Lara Marttini, a Brazilian singer-songwriter, has a talent for connecting with diverse audiences through life experiences that resonate deeply with the struggles of building a life far from home. Additionally, her music delves into mental awareness, making it an environment for self-reflection and emotional expression.
