Katherine Perkins writes songs and paints in Maine. Her music and artwork explore light and color, the ocean and the human heart.
As the leader of the Brooklyn based band Rose Hips & Ships, she released The Seafarer, in 2013, and The Colors Now, in 2020. Her paintings have been shown at the Cynthia Winings Gallery, in Blue Hill, Maine and Swallowfield, in Northeast Harbor.
Through time spent in her earlier projects -apart from Rose Hips and Ships, the debaucherous basement rock band Harvey Eyeballs- Perkins discovered aspects of the self she wanted to be in her songs, gradually revealing what would become her new solo project of poetic personal reflections. Being Younger, her debut solo album, is a collection of  vivid, evocative songs about love in all its forms, in which Perkins assembles the perfect cast of seasoned and sensitive players to create the lush instrumentation and grounded, danceable grooves that make the ideal companion for her breezy vocals.
Her new record, Being Younger, is due out on Twelve | Eight Records on June 21st, 2024.

Day By Day is the second single from Katherine Perkins forthcoming debut full length solo album, Being Younger, and arrives after the glourious Hold On. 
Day By Day is firmly planted in the moment that it was written, a state of deep isolation in the height of a global pandemic. “We were turning to our phones even more than before to find social connection,” Perkins reflects, “and paradoxically increasing the sense of isolation, seeing other peoples’ lives interspersed with doomsday news on the screen.” At the same time, Perkins had released an album early on in the year with her band Rose Hips & Ships, and was dealing with the sense of personal failure as the four-year effort of that project did a perfect swan dive into the choppy waters of 2020 and disappeared. In the chorus of Day by Day: “Day by day, night by night/ step by step, side by side/ we go from here,” Perkins finds comfort in the shared experience of this time, trying to summon a sense of strength in solidarity.
