However, \u2018delightful\u2019 is the only appropriate word to describe Vernon\u2019s Suit of Hearts. Yes, she could have easily become a blues singer, based upon her difficult familial upbringing. But she didn\u2019t. Rather, she\u2019s one that\u2019s learned to find joy, and expresses this joy through music.<\/p><cite> <strong>Dan MacIntosh&nbsp;-Skope Magazine<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Suit of Hearts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vernon\u2019s new album titled Suit of Hearts is an emotionally-charged musical journey with a refreshing sound. Suit of Hearts consists of twelve tracks. Coupled by the musical craftiness of her band, Vernon has put together a very soulful work. Tracks, like Listen and Look To The Sea, are great examples of Vernon\u2019s creative range and inventiveness. Vernon\u2019s voice has an enchanting flare that is sure to capture audiences. Suit of Hearts excels as an album for its innovative qualities musically and profound lyrical content. <strong>5\/10\/19 &#8211;<\/strong> <strong>Warlock Asylum <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dramatic, cliff-pondering folk-rock. It\u2019s a triumphant, feel-good record wirh wistful music to match &#8211; <strong>Chris Riemenschneider &#8211; Star Tribune<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intimate and unguarded, the songs on \u201cSuit of Hearts\u201d transform sad memories into happier moments. <strong>Erik Thompson &#8211; City Pages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cSuit of Hearts\u201d is the sound of an artist simultaneously growing and in full bloom, and it\u2019s exciting to hear. <strong>Jim Walsh<br>Author\/writer\/columnist\/journalist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The songs on the album deal with sadness and regret, but when you listen, you hear a woman also finding strength and opening doors to a brighter future. <strong>Colleen Cowie &#8211; Minnesota Public Radio<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suit of Hearts, the title song, has the biting irony of a Lily Allen, the key change of a Brandi Carlisle and the unique almost falsetto voice of Katy. The lyrics speak to the everyday hero, carrying on and both appreciating the heroes around us and within us. <strong>Ann Treacy &#8211; Mostly Minnesota<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BIO:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Katy was born and raised in London, UK but in the past dozen or so years has established herself as one of the busiest musicians in Minnesota. Combining melodic pop\/folk songwriting with a twangy Americana band. She has appeared at Festivals in the Midwest and UK, such as the Ukulele Festival of Great Britain, The Grand Northern Ukulele Festival, Taste Of Minnesota, Stars of the North, Big Turn Fest, and Hazelfest.
