Today, I speak with one of my best friends, Katie Hackett. Katie is a singer and songwriter who has been on a crazy ride over the past year. After believing her dream of being a musician was dead, this last February 2021 she debuted her extraordinary talents on a Desert Hearts Black EP, with Marbs & Evan Casey, under the name Katie Kilbride. The EP is titled "Birds on a Wire".
