"The first thing that will catch your attention when you hear Kate and Corey, is Kate Coleman's voice. It's a passionate, flexible instrument rich in emotion and skill. The second notable aspect of the band's music is its easy blend of influences, combining acoustic/electric rock with elements of jazz, blues and country with deceptive ease." - Spartanburg Herald-Journal 12-10-2014

"Singer/songwriters Kate & Corey are Atlanta transplants- but we love them all the same. Kate & Corey write some beautiful, plucky love songs that serve as a lovely reflection of their lives. Both members of the duo are extremely talented guitar players and have voices that could stand alone beautifully but are even better as they complement each other. The twosome has won and been nominated for numerous awards..." - Atlanta Music Guide 08-06-14

"You'll want to remember Kate and Corey because there are many big names that have competed in the same competition. The list includes Martina McBride, Garth Brooks, Miranda Lambert, and the list goes on and on."

“What I heard from those two is close to the best that you may get in Buffalo, as far as the music scene goes.” - 106.5 WYRK (Buffalo, NY) 04-23-2012

"Kate and Corey are humble musicians whose affection for their material - as well as for each other - is palpable. The duo's songwriting is solid and the harmonies are sultry. But what truly sets these two apart is their desire to be heard. Their work ethic and respect for the independent scene just pours out of the music. So come thirsty." - Rochester City Newspaper 03-14-2012
