Kate Bollinger
Breezy, jazz-tinted indie pop that feels like a warm afternoon spent in a quiet garden. Intricate rhythms paired with a soft, conversational vocal touch.

Kate Bollinger makes music that feels like a gentle exhale. It is rooted in a specific kind of Richmond, Virginia warmth, blending the sophisticated chord structures of jazz with the approachable intimacy of a bedroom-pop songwriter. Her songs often feel like they are floating just a few inches off the ground, carried by a rhythm section that understands space and subtlety as much as groove.
What sets her apart is the contrast between her soft, breathy vocal delivery and the technical precision of her band. While the atmosphere is relaxed and tender, the arrangements are often quite complex, featuring nimble basslines and clever guitar counterpoints that reward close listening. There is a playful, almost mischievous quality to her melodies that prevents the music from ever feeling too sleepy or static.
Start with the EP 'I Don't Wanna Lose' for a perfect introduction to her live-band chemistry, or dive into 'Songs From a Thousand Frames of Mind' to hear her expand into more ambitious, psychedelic-tinged arrangements. It is the ideal soundtrack for moments of quiet reflection or creative focus.
