Introducing Favourite Girl
Favourite Girl is the new project led by British songwriter Katy Vernon. Katy has been performing original melodic folk pop for over 25 years in the Twin Cities and in the UK.
This new project builds upon her catchy songwriting and turns everything up to 11!
This almost exclusively female powered rock band performs bold and exciting songs with a feminist and timeless approach. Taking on the old boys music club and having fun with it.
Favourite Girl will have you dancing, singing, and leaving audiences feeling empowered to be their truest selves.
Band lineup:
Katy Vernon – Ukulele/Vocals
Barb Brynstad – Bass/Vocals
Allie Pikala – Lead Guitar/Vocals
Alyse Emanuel – Drums/Vocals
Paul Odegaard – Trumpet
Some of you already know that I launched a new band at the end of last year. It’s been a dream of mine for a couple of years now to do something new and fresh.
As the end of the Katy Vernon Band happened after the pandemic I realized I was not done. I will never be done. Telling stories, expressing myself, and learning how to be better at playing and writing music
I also felt a fire in my belly to play louder and really throw myself into a rock band! So I started one. It’s proudly feminist and bold. My songwriting still, but turned up to 11. I have surrounded myself with talented female players (Alongside the ever wonderful Paul Odegaard) and we are gearing up for shows.
Some of you may have already seen us at the HiFI Alley show in October and we also played the Ghostnotes Dissonance event in November.
