Katie Ernst is described by the Chicago Tribune as "a versatile young bassist who plays in far-flung bands and sings with uncommon delicacy and authenticity." Her solo set for double bass and voice combines her own songwriting and improvisations and weaves them together with distinctive reimaginings of folk, jazz, and contemporary songs.
