Katie Lynne Sharbaugh

Katie Lynne Sharbaugh is a singer-songwriter based in Nashville who blends pop, jazz, and musical theater into something whimsical and disarmingly honest. A Berklee College of Music graduate, her music is characterized by spritely violin — which she plays herself — witty lyricism, and agile melodies Substack. Her standout single "Omaha (The Only What If)" has pulled in over 1.2 million Spotify streams, and she's gained millions of views on TikTok for playing viola. She opened for Joel Sunny at Brighton Music Hall on November 9, 2025, and the intimate room was a perfect match for her energy — theatrical but personal, polished but never over-rehearsed. Fans described her as bringing a ton of energy and passion to her live performance, with a band that's absolutely brilliant. These frames capture an artist playing a venue in the city where she learned her craft, and making it feel like she never left.
