Katie and the Carnival

Katie and the Carnival

Katie and the Carnival is a musical act associated with jazz, blues, cabaret, alternative rock and avant-garde styles. The project presents songs that combine upbeat and melancholy elements with lyrics that are described in the input as gutsy and whimsical.

The group is framed around a carnival-like, theatrical atmosphere, with imagery of troubled dreams, clowns, jesters and other dark fairground figures. The act is presented as carrying a battered suitcase of songs and as offering a dark mixture of musical pleasures.
