Welcome

Kathleen Healy is a hard-working musician & songwriter living on Cape Cod. She draws from her experience of living and raising a family near the beach for many of her songs. Some say saltwater runs through her veins. Kathleen writes from the heart and her honest lyrics and often poignant subject matter lend themselves to the unique quality of her voice.  She admits to being a live music junkie but is currently not seeking treatment for her addiction. #saltwatersongwriter BMI/FAI member

April Gigs and New Songs - No Foolin'! 

As I sit here on this rainy day, updating my website and calendar, I'm dreaming of sunny summer days and outdoor gigs! I know we have to get through some April showers and May flowers first, but I've got some great shows coming up as well as my beach a day photos to help pass the time this spring! Here's a March 31 sunrise photo for you to enjoy! You can follow my #beachaday journey at @khealymusic on Instagram.

March was busy with St. Paddy's Day shows and Heyday gigs, a few solo gigs, and a private party at the Family Table Collaborative. Jennie is warm and wonderful host and the food was absolutely mouth-wateringly delicious, and healthy! I wrapped up the month in style with a Friday Night Songbirds show at O'Shea's Olde Inne. Making music with my talented Songbird sisters feeds my soul and reminds me of how very blessed I am. 

April kicks off with a solo show at Harvest in Dennis on Sunday, April 2 at 5:30 p.m. I'll be solo at Buckies Biscotti in Dennis Port for my second Saturday gig on April 8 at 11:00 a.m. Heyday will be at O'Shea's in West Dennis for our regular first Thursday gig on April 6, at 8:00 p.m., but then we are switching our third Thursday with Dave Hickey for his fourth Thursday, so we'll be back at O'Shea's on Thursday, April 27. Then we have a busy weekend to close out the month with a Heyday Trio show at Harvest on Friday, April 28 at 8:00 p.m., and then a full band Heyday show on Saturday, April 29 at Oliver's/Planck's Tavern in Yarmouth Port at 9:00.  

And now it's time to get back to some writing. After a crazy long pandemic induced dry spell, I've been giving myself a writing prompt each month and I've got some new songs to show for it! January's prompt was ground, and I wrote my NPR tiny desk contest entry song: “Solid Ground." You can check that out on the Tiny Desk Contest website or on Youtube. February's prompt was space, and I wrote a nifty little song about the rat-race of life called “A Little Space.” I'll post it here as soon as I get a good recording. The prompt for March was cost, and I will admit that I've only got a chorus so far, and this one might get a little political. But hey, I'm a folk singer, so that's all good. 

I'm currently taking suggestions for April's prompt! Check out my calendar for a full listing of upcoming shows which will be updated regularly as more shows are added.

peace, love, and live music!
