In 2011, Kathrin decided to sublet her NYC apartment to move back home to Philadelphia, PA to help her parents. It was then, she formed a band with her new guitar teacher Lou, a virtuoso guitarist. During a lesson she took out her original songs to practice chords, and from that day they have been co-writing and recording.

After finding the remaining musicians for the band, their first big gig was Gorgas Park Summer Concert Series. The president of the park heard Kathrin sing at a local karaoke bar, she then invited him to hear her band play their first gig at a block party. After hearing them he asked her to perform as the act for Gorgas Park's 10th anniversary of 9/11 concert. With immense pride & honor the band accepted and have been invited to have a recurring show on Gorgas Park's Summer Concert roster.

For the past year, Katya Blue have been performing at various local outdoor concerts and venues throughout Philadelphia & NYC and have been written up in local papers and online news sites. They have been gaining a following and look forward to playing the music festival circuit and gain a fanbase that will propel them to the top.
