A modern-day Carole King, Kat is compared to Aimee Mann meets Crowded House, Karla Bonoff, Laura Nyro, Maria McKee. High energy acoustic pop. This album, "No Will Power" chronicles the unraveling of a romantic relationship at it's every stage....
"A passion and intimate detail well-suited to a small stage, with a sound big enough to fill an arena."
Hundreds of Kat Parsons' fans stepped up to finance the recording of her brand new album "No Will Power", to fill the void between her high voltage performances. They raised over $18,000 in pre-orders. "No Will Power", released March 2005, is about the unraveling of a romantic relationship at its every stage, not necessarily in chronological order and features performances by musicians who have recorded and toured with Sarah McLachlan, Liz Phair, John Mayer, Steve Vai and Junkie XL.
Kat has appeared on the cover of Music Connection Magazine, in Billboard, The Washington Post, Boston Globe, Chicago Sun Times, The Onion (it wasn't a joke!), Campus Circle, and was CDBaby's front page Editor's Pick. Kat has been played on KCRW, WRNR, WBEZ, KLOS, WLUW, and was "Most Played" (Slot 1, 2 AND 3) on XM's Unsigned Radio. While touring in the US and Europe, Kat has opened for and/or played with Billy Corgan, Maria Muldaur, Dave Mason, Jonatha Brooke, Lori McKenna, Shannon McNally, Jim White, The Fixx, The Knack and Charlotte Martin. Endorsed by Yamaha ("Influential Emerging Artist"), Audix, and ASCAP-recommended, Kat has performed live on MTV, QTV, WGN Morning News, Good Morning Arizona, and Fox TV, among others. Award winning, (DIY Runner Up Album of the Year, Acoustic Live Grand Prize, Pantene Pro-Voice Semi-Finalist, Winner GuitarGirls Songwriting Contest, Chick Singer Night Finalist, and is currently an International Songwriting Competition Finalist (winners will be announced in March), she's been featured on United/Ted Airlines "Hear it First" in-flight programming, Yahoo's 100 Concerts, was chosen as one of 10 indie artists across the US for Ford's Fusion car campaign, and has an upcoming feature on AT&T's Blueroom Site.
Kat was born to parents Darrell and Julie Parsons in one of Europe's most prominent musical cities, Vienna. Her father was an opera singer in the Vienna Opera House. He recorded with the Clemencic Consort for Harmonia Mundi and is the featured tenor on a Philips release of Mozart's "Mass." He still performs occasionally in the Washington DC area. Her mother is a professional pianist and singer and released a solo album in Europe in the mid-70s to her credit. She also recorded and released an album and dance single with her band Foxx Fire. Kat's entire extended family are musicians, her father's side coming from a deep bluegrass tradition and her mother's side, from a jazz tradition. Raised in Maryland as a child and teenager, Kat sang with her parents and brother, Jon. In exciting news: Grandpa just won the Senior Olympics (Gold for playing the saw (with a violin bow); Silver for his ventriloquist act).

Kat, You singing "Go Find Her" Makes "Go Find Her" the perfect song ! When Carly Simon said nobody does it better she was wrong because you do it better than anyone . Many blessings, James
Kat, Good hearing from you! Yeah you pretty much pronounced that greeting correct. I only know how to say some of the basic words over here myself. I'm really looking forward to being here again so far it's been alright. I'm going to try to actaully go to a kite festival tommorow down in Seoul that is sponsored by the Army's Recreation dept tommorow. One of my good friends from my last tour here is still here and lives down in Seoul so I hopefully can see him tommorow too. So it looks like you're still busy with touring and shows I hope that's all going well. Someday I'll get the chance to come see you perform somewhere. Thanks for the congrats on my new niece too we're all excited. Jen and Eric are doing really well! Take care and tell your brother I said hi too!
Hey Kat Parsons, How are you? I hope you are well. My girlfriend just directed my first music video. It's her first film. Let us know what you think! It's up on my website, which she also built. She's hot too! Guess I won the girlfriend lottery.
Thanks so much, Emrys Hanley Music You Can Feel EmrysHanley.com theindustree.com/emryshanley
Kat, How are things? It looks like you're still busy. I'm doing well I just arrived in Korea earlier in the month and am looking forward to a great year. My other big news is that I just became an uncle again!!! (Yeah Jen and Eric's second little girl on the 25th) so life is good. Hope you are doing well too!
Hi Kat Parsons, Heaven & Earth is on hiatus now as Stuart Smith and Richie Onori have joined forces with bassist Steve Priest to reform "Sweet". For those of you unfamiliar with the band, Sweet originally formed in the early 70s and went on to sell over 40,000,000 albums with 11 International Top Ten Hits such as "Ballroom Blitz", "Little Willy", "Love is Like Oxygen", "Fox on the Run", "Teenage Rampage", "Action", "Blockbuster", "Hellraiser" and many others. This reincarnation of the band reformed last year, playing their first show in June, and went on to play festivals throughout Canada and the States and had played to over 300,000 people before the year was out. During this tour last year they recorded a live CD available on Amazon entitled "Sweet, Live in America" which has received rave reviews - pick up a copy and please Add Sweet As Your Friend On Myspace! http://www.myspace.com/thesweetband Also, check out our friend Red Hot Chili Pepper Chad Smith's new band, Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatbats and their iTunes Top 10 Funk/Jazz debut release, "Meet the Meatbats"! http://www.myspace.com/bombasticmeatbats
