Katy Kirby Is The Newest Addition to the Ground Control Touring Artist Roster

Posted 12/15/2020

Ground Control Touring welcomes Katy Kirby!

Katy Kirby is a songwriter and indie rock practitioner with a writerly focus on unspoken rules, misunderstandings of all kinds, and boredom.

Kirby was born, raised, and homeschooled by two ex-cheerleaders in small-town Texas, where she started singing in church amidst the soaring, pasteurized-pop choruses of evangelical worship services. After high school, Kirby moved to Nashville, where she managed to graduate college with a rapidly expanding circle of artistic allies, an amorphous collection of leftist beliefs, and a few handfuls of songs.

After a series of painful failures to complete a record that reflected the temperament of those songs, Kirby finally turned to dear friends and co-conspirators to form a band capable of constructing a satisfying full length.

Her debut LP, Cool Dry Place is out on Feb. 19, 2021 via Keeled Scales. Keep your eyes peeled on her artist page for news and future tour dates.
