JT Presents Kate Yeager w/ Roger Weeks

Kate Yeager (she/her) is a New York-born, Nashville-based independent singer/songwriter. Her music combines upbeat indie pop sensibility a là MUNA, the raw vocals of Kelly Clarkson, and Julia Michaels’ -style introspective lyrics. Her songwriting will make you question “How does she know my life?” Kate describes her discography as “a whole lot of light, with a whole lot of bite.”

Teaming up with Grammy-nominated producer Jared Anderson, Kate’s new EP Before the Lights Go Out explores themes of vulnerability, love, and self-discovery. Kate reflects on her collection of songs, “I am in my vulnerable era – there isn’t a lot of holding back. My music is crushingly blunt and unguarded.” The 2023 single “Fat” – about her lifelong struggle with being comfortable in her body – caught fire online, as a performance clip of the tune rapidly racked up over 15 million views on social media. The viral track inspired fans to share their own stories and garnered praise from fans and celebrities around the world.

Kate Yeager’s forthcoming EP Before the Lights Go Out will be released in spring of 2024, and she will be touring throughout the year in support of the release.

 

 

roger (He/They) was born and raised where the New Hampshire backwoods meet the lakeshore. There, he discovered the architecture of sound: crickets singing in the night, the crackle of the campfire, each crisp footfall upon the forest floor. It was a natural progression towards music, as the young artist spun his heartbreaking coming-of-age experiences into bedroom-pop folk songs.

Armed with a piano and a guitar, the LGBTQIA+ artist has recently moved to Los Angeles. Building a sound that alloys emotional strength with vulnerable and authentic visuals, he is ready to release his catalog to the world. roger’s music combines Lewis Capaldi’s compelling balladry, Noah Kahan’s east coast nostalgia, sweet pop vocals à la Shawn Mendes, and the vulnerable downtempo indie vibe of Novo Amor to create a sound all his own.

roger’s 2021 singles from “Alone Is Better”, “I Hate You” and “wrong but worth it” went TikTok viral and resulted in Spotify Editorial support (Fresh Finds & Fresh Finds: Pop), and playlist features from Chill Only, Indie Mixtape, and A1234. roger’s debut single “IRON” landed a primetime placement on Showtime’s season finale of Shameless.

roger spent his 2022 writing and recording his debut album. “I challenged myself to spend an entire year immersed in subjects that scare me– the loss of my mom, my sexuality, body dysmorphia, gender identity, and of course, love. I’m really proud of these songs and I just hope they help even just one person feel a little bit less alone.”

roger’s 2023 single, a sad girl cover of “Come Clean” by Hillary Duff has spent months atop Spotify’s ‘Sad Cover’s playlist. His second single of 2023, ‘North Dakota’, has resonated deeply on TikTok & IG Reels racking up over 2,000 video creations, millions of views, and thousands of streams & playlist adds. On August 9th, 2023 roger released “i think i love u,” the third single off his forthcoming album.
