On the “City Lights” series “Speaking of Music,” local musicians share their work and stories in their own voices. In today’s segment, we feature Atlanta band Run Katie Run.

The band’s front-runner and singer Kate Coleman describes their music as “roots rock music… but mainly because we don’t really stick to a certain genre.”

Coleman got her start in music via a gifted karaoke machine, realizing her passion for singing in middle school. By the time she got to college, she had been in a run of bands, which led to her meeting her future, Corey, the lead guitarist in Run Katie Run.
