Enjoy an evening of live music in the relaxed, lounge-like setting of Upstairs on Main, where great music meets a casual atmosphere with the bar open throughout the event.
Portland, Maine–based singer-songwriter Katie Matzell brings her soulful voice and captivating songwriting to the stage in a performance that is both intimate and electrifying. Since the release of her debut EP in 2018, Matzell has drawn acclaim for her rich, expressive vocals—praised by MaineToday as “fierce and dazzling,” with a warmth and depth that make her songs truly resonate.
Blending effortless delivery with lush keys and irresistible grooves, her sound evokes the timeless influence of artists like Bonnie Raitt and Aretha Franklin, while sitting comfortably alongside modern voices such as Norah Jones and Emily King. A 2018 New England Music Award nominee for Female Performer of the Year, Matzell crafts a musical experience that is both grounded and luminous—an evening of soul, storytelling, and striking vocal artistry.
