'Lou Priest' is the new solo artist name of Kate Priestley, a veteran of the music scene in Austin. She's known for her former neo soul band, KP and the Boom Boom, opening for Snoop Dogg, Sting, The Flaming Lips and Questlove through her past projects. Described as a 'gentle genius' for her acoustic soul, jazz and folk fused songwriting, Priest's message is one of self reflection, social observation and love.
