Friends and Folk: Caitlin is a native Seattleite, music teacher, and singer-songwriter. She weaves themes from her personal life into melody, usually over guitar or piano. Some of her musical influences include Brandi Carlile, Joni Mitchell, and Rachel Price of the band “Lake Street Dive”. She has loved to write and sing since she can remember, and specifically enjoys crafting lyrics through metaphor and imagery. Lyrical themes include perseverance, patience, relationships, and the quest for peace. Her voice is sweet and soulful, and she loves singing in harmony with friends. Caitlin Patterson is joined by fellow musicians Kirk Laukner and Teylar Greer. Together, they form a folk trio known as “Friends and Folk”. In addition to songwriting, Caitlin is a private piano, voice, and guitar teacher. She loves helping her students grow!
