After Kat Lock â former lead singer of the Norman band St. Basic â moved to Indiana for a few months, she decided it was time to leave the group and jump headfirst into her solo career. Now, Lock will perform Feb. 26 on a live stream as a part of the Norman Music Festival Transmissions series.Â
âLife happens and things don t work out,â Lock said about the bandâs split. âI just had a lot of songs that I wanted to get out there, and it was just easier to just use my name.âÂ
As Lock started exploring her career as a solo artist, she said she took a few creative leaps. The multi-instrumentalist, already well-versed in the language of piano, guitar, bass and ukulele, decided to add the drums to her skill set and began writing more personal songs.Â
