Steel Kitty Productions Presents
Featuring Crystal Lee Morgan
Crystal Lee Morgan is a Pittsburgh-based singer-songwriter whose music blends alt-country, Americana, and pop storytelling with an unmistakably honest edge. A former RAW Artist of the Year, WYEP songwriting finalist, and Pittsburgh Voice finalist, Crystal has spent years writing, performing, and collaborating with artists while building a career outside the spotlight. Now returning to the stage at Mr. Small's Cafe with new music, she writes about reinvention, love, identity, and the beautifully complicated business of becoming yourself.
Kylie Koch is a Pittsburgh based indie-folk artist whose music combines Americana, singer-songwriter, blues and rock influences. Her work pairs storytelling lyrics with haunting melodies to paint pictures of the tales that have inspired her work. Her debut EP is currently in progress and is set to launch within the next year.
Samurae is a multidimensional Indie Artist & Poet originally from Pittsburgh, PA. Using her vocals as a paint brush she delivers potent being in music & presence like a warm hug. Inspired by the soulful legends Jill Scott & Musiq Soulchild - sensual connection is only a part of her experience. Encouraging others to know their own inner power and the importance of taking care of themselves before anything else are the staples of Samurae’s creations for not only her fans but, anyone who needs a message.
Morgan Erina is a Pittsburgh-based singer-songwriter whose finger-picked indie folk, vivid storytelling, and hauntingly ethereal voice have made her a distinctive presence in the region’s music scene. A prolific songwriter with more than 700 songs to her name, Morgan has toured across the U.S. and Europe and performed at venues including the Three Rivers Arts Festival, Club Café, Rockwood Music Hall, and Pittsburgh Winery. Her work with Broken Fences has been featured on television shows including Shameless, Sweet Magnolias, Flashpoint, and The Young and the Restless, while her solo releases continue to showcase an intimate, deeply personal approach to songwriting.
Steel Kitty Productions is a Pittsburgh-based music production and promotion company founded by Deb Cook, a longtime supporter and promoter of the region’s music community. Through songwriter showcases, live performances, and artist-focused events, Deb and Steel Kitty Productions create opportunities for original artists to be heard, connect with new audiences, and share the stories behind their songs.
