Katy Pinke’s songs are self-examinations—cerebral and unsparing, but reaching toward a more promising future. The Manhattan-based singer-songwriter, painter, and theater-maker’s nimble soprano evokes the precision, humor, and melancholy of forbearers like The Roches and Connie Converse. Sentences pour across verses, disrupting the symmetry of the expected verse-chorus form. PopMatters describes her, on her most recent album, as “Suzanne Vega’s oddball niece, or Joni Mitchell in an outer space Cabaret.” Her live shows have become storied events in the NYC indie scene, sharing the stage with acts like Laura Veirs, Jolie Holland, This is Lorelei, Joanna Sternberg, TV On the Radio’s Kyp Malone, Indigo Sparke, Delicate Steve, Jesse Harris, Trixie Whitley, and Diane Cluck.
