Artistic Encounters with KT & the Love Notes

KT & The Love Notes play beautiful music. Described as “transcendental folk”, the Love Notes create a musical landscape that is uplifting, nurturing, fun, and meaningful. Katie Sontag’s (KT) songs range from lighthearted and silly (poking fun at herself as a scatterbrained new mother) to deep and vulnerable (the everyday grief of being human) and often triumphs with an important truth that we all need to be reminded of (including her). Her sweet vibrato pulls the listener into her intimate and truthful songwriting, bringing them into her personal life and connecting deeply with her audience. A seasoned performer, Katie engages the audience with group singing and her endearing stage presence. Her music has been described as “a big hug”. As good folk music does, Katie’s songs create community. Jazz Bassist Jon Brex adds rhythmic and melodic texture with his incredible skill and creative expression using his 30 years of bass playing.

Together, they have graced stages all around Oregon, including the Oregon Country Fair (‘18-’25), TedEx Bend (‘18) and all over their hometown of Eugene. Katie has released three self produced albums: Temple Under the Stars (‘18), Still Breathing (‘20) and For the Tender Hearted (‘24). The trio is currently recording their upcoming albums, in between playing shows, and taking care of their 4 year old daughters. Based in Eugene OR, KT & the Love Notes especially love playing house concerts, folk clubs, and festivals.
