Welcome to Talking Culture! In this weekly interview series from 97.9 The Hill WCHL, you’ll hear from writers, performers, musicians and individuals involved in advancing and promoting cultural arts in our community.

This week, Aaron welcomes local singer-songwriter Katie Rae, a Hillsborough native and UNC alum who’s been releasing music for three years. Katie stops by to play her latest single, “2 AM” – the semi-autobiographical (but don’t tell Kendall!) lead single off her forthcoming EP, which is likely due out later this spring.
