Legendary Rolling Stone Magazine Features Local Singer Kat Hasty

 

SAN ANGELO, TX - Singer and songwriter Kat Hasty is featured in Rolling Stone Magazine’s May 2024 edition. 

Within the magazine, information states that Hasty’s hometown is San Angelo, and describes her as a “Lone Star State wanderer.”

“Hasty moved all about West Texas, picking up ideas for her sharp songs along the way," the magazine stated. "She writes about everything from self-esteem to heartache, killing sacred cows in equal measure."

 

Rolling Stone quoted one of the verses in one of Hasty’s most popular songs, “Pretty Things.” 

“I’m never gonna be your southern Texas wannabe beauty queen,” Hasty sang. 

The magazine feature also discusses her forthcoming single, “The Time of Your Life.”

“‘The Time of Your Life,’ is a wicked kiss-off in which she tells her ex, in vivid detail, how she’s ‘kissing boys that I don’t like, hanging out with folks that drink all night,’” Rolling Stone stated. 

Hasty appears in the magazine under the section titled “RED DIRT: THE NEXT GENERATION.” 

Author Josh Crutchmer pinpoints the 1979 release of Oklahoma musician Bob Childers' debut album as the birth of the Red Dirt movement. 

The magazine then lists four artists “stoking the flame that Childers lit,” with Hasty being named along with Dylan Gossett, Koe Wetzel, and Southall.
