I’m Katie Rose (first name, no hyphen). I’m an actor-musician-writer (many hyphens).
Originally from Chicago and raised by strong Sicilian women, I was singing and dancing as soon as I could talk and spent my early years backstage at my mamma’s shows, falling asleep to her crooning with her swing band, The Velvetones. During 11 years in New York, I was a company member with Axis Theatre Company, where I starred in an original stage adaptation of the 1952 western, High Noon, and a new, original folk musical, EVENING - 1910. Favorite NYC credits include: EVENING 1910: An Original Folk Musical, Dead End (Axis), The Hot Universe (New York Theatre Workshop), Anthropology of a Book Club (MRT); TV: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon), VINYL (HBO).
I perform regularly as a singer-songwriter and I’m currently writing a TV show about sisterhood, fatherlessness, the mob, and a 200-year-old tortoise named Larry.
I’m an alum of Pomona College (English literature and philosophy) and Berklee College of Music (Vocal Jazz), and a graduate of NYU Gallatin School of Individualized Study, where I created a curriculum around “The Psychology of Narrative — Why We Tell Stories”.
As an artist, I am interested in embodying truth in all of its juicy, joyful, sad, stupid beauty.
hear me sing
The granddaughter of a jazz clarinetist and the daughter of a pianist/Swing band leader in Chicago, I grew up listening to the Blues and training classically in voice while studying clarinet, piano, and guitar. I always come back to my Jazz and Blues roots, but now I sing just about everything and find my greatest joy in finding that good good harmony.
