So let\u2019s get after it, y\u2019all. If you\u2019ve spent any time in Charlotte\u2019s music scene, you probably know the name Kate Bankston. Kate\u2019s debut album \u201cCry A Little\u201d is packed with dynamic vocals, catchy arrangements, and lyrics that linger long after the last note fades. Her sound? Like Norah Jones, Lake Street Dive, and Carole King all jamming together in a Queen City living room.  Kate moves boldly through genres\u2014pop, jazz, folk\u2014always driven by her background as a pianist and vocalist, and always with a knack for making you feel every word. Whether she\u2019s playing to a packed festival crowd or an intimate local stage, Kate\u2019s music is the kind that makes you want to sing along, dance a little, and maybe, just maybe, cry a little too. On this episode, Kate Bankston talks about finding her voice in Charlotte, writing songs that stick with you, and what it means to carve out your own path in a city full of sound. Cheers!
