Kathy Lord is a professional musician, published songwriter, vocalist, recording artist, and co-founder of Music That Heals. “My performance career has covered a wide variety of venues, beginning as a solo artist, (vocals/guitar) and continuing with the formation of the Lord & Weber Band in 1984.” Kathy has performed at various concert venues in Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, and Bermuda, as well as on cruise ships, at private parties, clubs, at commercial functions, and in concert halls. The Lord & Weber band has shared the stage with names such as Glen Campbell and Tammy Wynette.  They were invited to perform during a visit from the Dalai Lama at a major NYC hospital, and have performed at functions attended by U.S. Presidents.

Some of the non-traditional music venues that Kathy has performed at include psychiatric centers, prisons, hospitals, hospice facilities, dialysis centers, burn units, schools for special children, nursing homes, assisted living centers, AIDS facilities, transplant units, neo-natal intensive care units, emergency rooms, intensive care units, hospital bedsides, as well as private house calls to homebound adults and children.

Kathy believes that the co-founding of Music That Heals in 1997…”started me on a musical and vocational journey with a mission to provide professional, musical performances to ill children and adults. Since its inception, Music That Heals has become my daily passion. The program is a life journey for me, and a way to bring joy to the world through music—in some of the most unexpected places. It’s an ongoing process, finding, auditioning and selecting new musicians who fit the program’s parameters, as well as writing grant proposals and adding new healthcare facilities that will receive service from the organization.”
