Kansas City singer-songwriter Kate Cosentino performs live with The Toxhards at Sound Bite Social.
Kate Cosentino plays Sound Bite Social on Wednesday, October 21, with The Toxhards opening. It's a hometown show for her—she was born right here in Kansas City—and she'll be taking the stage at 7 PM.
If you haven't caught her live, the best way to describe what she does is a bit of a crossover: jazzy sleekness meeting the lyrical precision of witty slam poetry. It's the kind of sound that sits somewhere between Regina Spektor and Norah Jones, but with a Charlie Puth bassline running through it. The jazz side gives it a smooth, late-night feel, while the slam poetry influence keeps the lyrics sharp and conversational, so you're listening to the words as much as the melody.
She's built a decent bit of momentum over the last few years. Back in 2022, she put out the EP Note to Self, which picked up praise from outlets like Rolling Stone India. One of her songs, "Imposter Syndrome," ended up in the American Girl Doll Tenney Grant books and products, so it's reached a lot more ears than your average local release. She also spent some time on the national stage as part of Niall Horan's team during Season 23 of The Voice.
