a little bit about
Kat & Brad
Drawing from 50s and 60s pop, American Songbook standards, and much more, this vibrant duo channels and fuses these influences through two voices, a guitar, and violin to bring you a mixture of original songs and dusted off covers from the past.
The two consist of Brad Bensko on Vocals and Guitar, and Kathleen Parks (of Twisted Pine) on Vocals, and Five-Stringed Fiddle.
In the fall of 2018 the duo recorded, produced, and mixed their first LP of original material split equally at their home studio full of delightful, vintage, and analog recording equipment, Bearded Cat Studio and with the master, recording engineer Chris Rival’s Middleville Studio. Since its release in 2019 it has been loved, and received high praise by audiences all over New England.
A follow up two track EP was released online in 2020 via Bandcamp. The tracks are from their last live show at Club Passim in Cambridge, Massachusetts before the pandemic hit the states. In a way it reminisces about a time when live music was close, intimate, and there to take your troubles away for a little while.
With live music back be sure to not miss this happy duo. Join them at an upcoming show to hear selections from their album and fresh cuts from their favorite time periods!

The Return to
live music
Hey Everybody!
Well the last year and a half certainly came with its challenges for everyone. We’ve been doing our part to make changes in ourselves to help build up and protect those in our local communities. We hope that you, your friends, and your families are doing well and are keeping safe.
As a duo, we were forced to take time off with the music business in every capacity struggling to stay afloat. But here this now, we are working to get back out there and get some shows on the books. We have some new videos that we are gearing up to release, and two shows for the end of 2021. Please follow us on Bandsintown and check back here regularly for show announcements and musical updates.
If you would like to show us support in the meantime, we would greatly appreciate it.
You can do so by purchasing our music via Bandcamp by clicking on the Discography tab at the top of our website or even by donating to us via Paypal when we perform live or via Live Stream. We have 3 Live Streams up on Facebook available for viewing from the last year with our most recent available for instant viewing below.
