About Kathryn Lewis:

“Kathryn Lewis is a songwriter, musician, and audio engineer. Kat’s songs are influenced by Country, Folk, Bluegrass, Pop, and Reggae. She draws inspiration from moments of clarity as well as moments (entire eras?) of confusion. She has composed and performed music for theater, and collaborated with many bands, both in the studio and on stage. She currently plays with: Country City, Sheriff and The Deputy, Billygoat, and Batala New York. Kat is the co-creator and producer of two free concert series: Live Muzic Mondayz (2018-2023) and the Thompson Street Medicine Show (2017-present), and a curator for Porch Stomp, an annual Folk Fest on Governors Island. In 2023, her re-write of the “Ice Cream Song” won WNYC/NPR’s Public Song Contest! You can hear it, and other songs, at KathrynLewis.Bandcamp.com! She is delighted to debut some scripted scenes and new(ish) songs at City Lore with actor and musician Jo Brook!”

About Victor V. Gurbo & Mark Caserta:

“Victor and Mark first connected in 2017 through Craigslist, initially to trade guitars.  Their musical collaboration began in earnest when they reconnected virtually during the COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020.  With their respective projects on hold, they started exchanging iPhone recordings: Victor would record a track, Mark would add to it, and they would continue this back-and-forth until a finished song emerged.  These remote collaborations culminated in the release of Outrun The Invisible Man (Home Recordings Volume I) in February 2025, issued as a limited-run vinyl and streaming, and celebrated with a release show at City Lore.”
