Katy J Pearson: International Showcase Fund (SXSW)
Katy J Pearson is a singer-songwriter from Bristol. She is signed to Heavenly Recordings and released her debut album ‘Return’ in November 2020, to critical acclaim. Katy has played alongside artists such as Cass McCombs, Olden Yolk and Chris Cohen, and played a virtual performance for established festival and conference Eurosonic last month. This funding for the SXSW virtual performance will enable Katy to pay her band a wage they deserve and cover transport and rehearsal costs, as well as covering any necessary PPE purchases due to Covid-19. It will also allow Katy and her band to focus on creating a tight and engaging performance, and not on financial worries.
