Katie Dee & The Quaking Aspens

Katie Dee began her musical career playing piano and violin. Inspired by her family's love of traditional Appalachian murder ballads, her own dark sense of humour, and her talents as a storyteller, she began the gothic americana outfit "Katie Dee & The Quaking Aspens" in 2013.

Julien Dee is a multidisciplinary artist, with a degree in Studio Art. Julien's primary instruments are musical saw and vocals. They joined the Quaking Aspens as a full time member in 2020.

The duo is often joined by a rotating cast of guest musicians. The Quaking Aspens have performed at both the Millvale Musical Festival as well as the Deutschtown Music Festival, frequently play locally, and just released their newest album, a collection of original dark sea shanties, called "From The Sea" on July 7th, 2020.
