We are excited to launch the premiere of Episode 4 in our popular video series, Dissonance Sessions, featuring London-native and Twin Cities artist Katy Vernon, singer of sad songs on a happy instrument. She talks about growing up “weird,” surviving tragedy, avoiding “mommy wine culture,” discovering her voice, volunteering, learning to feel content, and facing the future by embracing the present. Katy also performs the new song Over and Over as well as Shine, a song she wrote for a Minneapolis #MeToo benefit. We are thrilled to share this conversation digging into the backstory and inspired songwriting of our very own board member.
