I am here to reimagine...

I wish people wouldn’t be afraid to express their support, sympathy, love when someone is going through loss and grief. I wish people would never say “Let me know how I can help” ever again to someone going through something really tough.

Kate Schutt is an award-winning songwriter, singer, guitarist, and producer whose voice NPR calls “glassily clear and glossily sweet.” She studied poetry at Harvard and guitar at Berklee College of Music. Kate’s most recent project is the album Bright Nowhere, made with legendary producer/arranger Rob Mounsey. It maps the landscape of loss around her mother’s diagnosis and death from ovarian cancer. Kate spent five years as her mom’s primary caregiver, along the way writing songs about life, loss, and “living dyingly.” Kate’s TEDx talk, “A Grief Casserole -- How to help your friends & family through loss,” has been called “nothing short of life-changing” for people dealing with grief. Kate’s songs have won top honors from ASCAP, and she’s shared stages with her heroes Scott Colley, Terri Lyne Carrington, Julian Lage, and Bernard Perdie, to name only a few.
