Katie Prendergast Creates a Sense of Musical Freshness


Special Promoter's Note:
Given some very uncooperative conditions during the week before the performance, I zealously assert that Katie is indeed a professional in the highest sense of the word!

I would like to express my gratitude to Sue Woznicki for her wonderful skill at the graphic artwork she put together for the Katie Prendergast Concert. The work on the poster and ticket was beautiful and outstanding. And also for the Facebook post artwork.

   Also, a big “thank you” again to Ryan Clay whose serendipitous discovery of Katie and her excellent talent made this concert possible. Of course, having studied education to become a teacher, one would expect Ryan to be able to notice talent!
Thanks to my son, Eric and my wife Sherry for tying up loose ends and focusing my attention where it needed to be.
And to Keith Priser for recording the event and offering suggestions (Keith has had much professional experience around the Warsaw and Nashville Tennessee areas)!
   But most of all I say “Thanks! Katie!” for a truly entertaining experience Saturday night, November 18, 2017. I am genuinely impressed with your craft of lyric. Your composition of melody lived beyond what was expected! One concert attendee, John, said “I expected her to be good. But being 17, I thought all of her songs would be similar in sound. I was pleasantly surprised. Her range of topic in lyric and feel for melody was really good!”
   There is this one song Katie sings. I think the title is “I’m Only Seventeen”. Well, for being only seventeen she sure reaches toward a very mature strength in vocal ability, literacy in lyric and variety in melody!

It was a great, enthusiastic, and engaged crowd that filled the capacity of this performance venue. They left in hopes of “more to come”.
Katie does not want it to end there on that stage at Goshen College last Saturday night.
Performances are being planned for the spring of 2018 and also into the summer.

If you would like to book this talent for your party, event, or “happening”, please contact Mike Settles at cmsettles@juno.com
a very proud Mike with his star Katie
