Hi.

I’m Katie Callahan and I’m a singer, songwriter, artist, and mother who grew up in Hawaii and lives currently in Baltimore. My music is rooted in folk and Americana traditions with a focus on lyrical storytelling. After years as a worship leader, I left the church and now make work about rejoining the body, mind, and spirit and constantly learning and exploring what it is to be a woman getting older.

Doing The Thing IS The Thing

For lots of reasons–mental health, circumstances, disappointments, anxiety, parenthood–I put off the dream of making and sharing music for years. I was afraid I’d missed the proverbial boat–but it turns out that’s a lot of nonsense and my motherhood, age, and limitations are my best assets, if I let them be. Doing The Thing IS The Thing. Chasing a dream IS the dream. Making work around something I love with people I love is the best kind of success, regardless of how anybody measures it.

I’ll keep at this as long as I have stories to tell. I hope you come along for the ride.
