Katy Moffatt’s profound interest in history and history-in-the-making has long populated her albums and live shows with songs about real people and events, often with an emphasis on women: their accomplishments, struggles and predicaments. Her project, Midnight Radio: A One-Woman Show, is always an entertaining musical journey through 19th, 20th and 21st Century American life, highlighting the role of women and the power of radio through songs of personal history and the telling of history through song. You can see the show on Thursday, March 26 at the Repertory East Playhouse.
These are the stories of women young and old, known and unknown, dreaming their own paths into being while blazing a trail for others (Sojourner Truth – emancipation/women’s suffrage activist), of women standing with and struggling with their life partners (Hank & Audrey – Hank Williams and his wife Audrey), and of women who were the disenfranchised and often overlooked witnesses (Marina – Lee Harvey Oswald’s wife) to historic events which altered the course of this country and beyond.
Midnight Radio: A One-Woman Show is an evening that you will not soon forget. Katy seamlessly weaves together a story that is at once singular and universal. Her songs are the history of one woman, all women, and a nation.

“If ever there was the perfect singer-songwriter it is Katy Moffatt. Her songs are drenched in emotion, her voice perhaps the most searingly beautiful thing you’ll ever hear.”—-London Daily Express
“In all her albums and her appearances, Katy Moffatt is indeed a storyteller. Her voice has many shades of meaning as well as memory. She illuminates-in natural light-the characters and the places in her songs…her passion is the abiding force in her music.”—–Nat Hentoff, Wall Street Journal
