Kathryn is everything you could ask for when you’re considering a professional musician. I entrusted her with playing during a surprise proposal in Lincoln Park, and she treated the event with reverence and true joy. She is amazing. If you’re looking for a musician, stop searching and just reach out to her now. You will not be disappointed.

About Kathryn Lachey Music
Hey there! I'm a jazz and contemporary vocalist here in Chicago, with 10+ years of experience as a performer, bandleader, and arranger. I'm available for all kinds of events, but I especially love playing for cocktail hours, smaller/DIY wedding receptions, wedding ceremonies, and marriage proposals. I really enjoy working with clients to find songs and artists they love to make their event unique and extra special! I have a master's degree in jazz and know 200+ jazz standards, but I also love playing 60's pop and motown, folk and country, and classic pop tunes. I've played public and private events around Chicago at venues like The Allis at Soho House, The Drake, Palmer House, Union League Club, The Field Museum, Chicago Botanic Garden, Gibsons, Chicago Firehouse, and more. My pricing varies depending on the season, day of the week, travel distance, instrumentation/number of musicians etc., but please contact me for more info on pricing. I can offer up to a quintet (voice, guitar or piano, bass, drums, sax or trumpet), but I most commonly perform in a duo or trio setting (voice with guitar and/or upright bass). Please feel free to call/text me with any questions!
Reviews
Kathryn and the trio she brought to my micro wedding is absolutely one of the best highlights of the night. All of my guests were drown in the jazzy vibe. I’m glad I made the choice of her, and I enjoyed every step of our communication. She and her team are professional in all aspects, would definitely work with here again!
Everyone enjoyed the music of Kathryn Lachey so very much. She played for my 60th birthday party celebration. I was beyond delighted at the talent of her singing and playing piano. She sang in French and Portuguese what a special treat. Her playlist is extremely extensive and she goes over the top to deliver an exceptional experience. It was pure joy to have her sing at my party. Her guitar player was fantastic and together they performed endless jazz favorites and then a great selection of dance music. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Kathryn for making my party perfect!!! Connie LITH, IL
Kathryn was perfect for my golden birthday! She played 2 hours of recognizable music that fit the vibe of the party! She even let me request a few songs to learn which really added to the experience, even one last minute (which I really appreciated). Would highly recommend having Kathryn at your next event!
She was great and perfect to our event . Very good singer and selections were superb for our 18 year old daughter taste. Accommodating and pleasant to deal . Will definitely recommend and call her for our next event.
I met Kathryn at a local cafe. She was performing with Aylon the night my fiancee and I were engaged and they were both AMAZING! Not only professional and lovely performers, but also lovely people. We hired them for our what was supposed to be July 2020 wedding (pre-covid) to recreate the night we got engaged. While we did not end up having our wedding, Kathryn has been responsive and flexible with us as we navigate this odd world. Thank you, Kathryn!
Such a pleasure to work with. A bright spot during uncertain times, Kathryn did an amazing job at our St Patrick's Day celebration.
Kathryn is absolutely PHENOMENAL! She and her guitarist were able to build a cover of a specific song that I had requested and it turned out even better than I could have imagined. I was traveling to the Chicago area for and was planning a surprise proposal at Buckingham Fountain. As I live >5hrs away I actually was not able to meet up with Kathryn or her guitarist even once before the event. We spoke a great deal over text and email about what I wanted from the event/the song, and she always responded very promptly and was very attentive to my needs/desires, she even provided suggestions for ideas that I had not yet thought of which I loved. When the day came, I had also found a local photographer via thumbtack and Kathryn was even kind enough to coordinate directly with the photographer to make sure everything was in place and every detail was perfect (AND THEY HAD NEVER MET BEFORE EITHER!!!). My now Fiancee thought there were just having fun playing music by the fountain and had no idea they were there for us. Kathryn and I had set up a little signal for when I was ready for them to start playing my requested song, and it all went off without a hitch! The proposal went off without a hitch, and we COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. Kathryns attention to customer needs is amazing, her professionalism cannot be beat, and her musical talent is world class. 5 Stars is not enough. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
We can't say enough great things about Kathryn and her group. First, she was so personable, professional and just a lovely person. She was so easy to work with, accommodating to all our requests, and her talent is completely understated through the songs on her website. Her talent and the overall group made our wedding and our guests are still raving about it. Thank you Kathryn- we appreciated everything and can't wait to book you again!!
Kathryn spent time communicating with me before the event to ensure that her performance will be appropriate to our family reunion event. She let us select the old songs we like. The richness of her voice in her performance is really impressive. Several family members asked me afterwards how I found her.
