​Produced by multi-instrumentalist Michael Koppelman “Fly” features Tessman’s bandmates Tom Leier, Kelley Lima, and her son Louis “Sweet Lou” Tessman Stanoch. Breathtaking performances by special guests Nikki Lemire, Jillian Rae, Michael Koppelman, and Justin Jacobson add lush layers of harmonies and strings, elevating Tessman’s radiant voice.
Based in Minneapolis, Katy is also an award-winning children’s book author, celebrated as a CHANGEMAKER by Minnesota Women’s Press. “Our Mama is a Beautiful Garden” is her young family’s story battling breast cancer. The pandemic sparked a reawakening in Katy's songwriting, igniting a fresh surge of energy to start performing again. ​Using the wisdom she’s gained through breast cancer survival, heartbreak, and motherhood, Tessman’s songwriting helps her celebrate life’s stumbles and summits. This newfound inspiration led to her re-debut in 2022, marking a significant musical resurgence that led to selling out listening-room shows, releasing a handful of singles, A decade after her cancer diagnosis, Katy wrote a song that sums up the everyday-hero’s journey and published the accompanying lyric picture book, “Hero Now Crowned.” 

​
Engaged in outreach events, Katy shares her story, talent, and positivity, offering comfort to others. Stories and songs truly heal and her aim is to evoke laughter and tears, spread smiles, while fostering a sense of hope and togetherness.
