Whatever Happened to Kat Hasty? Find Out Tonight at Blaine’s Pub

Wild West Fest produces small, mini-concerts at various venues in the region.

Hasty has achieved several career milestones. Among the biggest, she completed a nationwide tour with Koe Wetzel, performing at packed venues across the U.S. Her journey has taken her through major music cities like Nashville, Austin, and Dallas, where her fiery lyrics and commanding stage presence have captivated thousands of new fans. Riding the wave of success from her EPs and viral singles, Hasty’s name has become synonymous with the next generation of Texas music.

Despite her growing fame, Hasty’s roots remain firmly planted in West Texas. Earlier this year, she decided to move back to San Angelo to be with her family and focus on raising her daughter. The return home marks a new chapter for the rising star, who is balancing life as both a mother and a touring musician.

“I’m glad to be back in Angelo. I’m slowing down on shows and want to really focus on writing and recording,” Hasty said. “Pretty much everyone I know and love will be at Blaine’s, and that says enough about where I should be. I got the opportunity to go out into the world, play some really cool shows, and meet some really cool people. But the older I get, the more I just want to be home.”

Hasty’s music was recently featured in Rolling Stone, where her rebellious, no-holds-barred style was praised as a defining voice in modern Texas country. With millions of streams, songs like “Pretty Things” have become anthems for listeners, especially women who connect deeply with her messages of independence and self-determination.

“We played Tarleton’s homecoming last night,” Hasty said. “Hearing all the young college girls sing along made me happy. I remember being so full of angst at that age. I’ve grown up a lot since writing Drowning In Dreams, but it feels like a time capsule of my youth. I remember several artists who really marked my youth, and to get to do that for someone else feels like an honor. I never expected those songs to touch people like they did.”

Performing at Blaine’s Pub tonight feels like a full-circle moment after years of touring and making her mark on the music scene. Blaine’s intimate, close-knit atmosphere offers a different setting than her first Wild West Fest performance at the Bill Aylor Memorial River Stage.

“Well, Joe, I feel like I should’ve played at Blaine’s three years ago,” Hasty said. “I’ve been waiting to come play here. I’m pretty sure every ticket was bought by my friends or family, so I think it’ll be more of a party than anything!”

Tickets for tonight’s show are in high demand, and if you know Blaine’s, it doesn’t take many advance sales for all the seats to be gone.

For those who have followed her from the start, this concert is not just about the music—it’s about witnessing the next chapter of an artist who has remained true to her roots, even as her star continues to rise. And for Kat Hasty, there’s no better place to share her story than the town where it all began.
