Katy Guillen & The Drive – Goodbye Charlie

Kansas City duo Katy Guillen & The Drive  – led by music + life partners Katy Guillen (vocals/guitar) and Stephanie Williams (drums) – prides itself on fostering empowered spaces for women in music both onstage and off. This core value heavily influenced the band’s second full-length effort Make That Sound, produced by Megan McCormick (Allison Russell, Amythyst Kiah), due October 17, 2025 via Are and Be Recordings.

“Goodbye Charlie” is about grief and loss, more specifically of a beloved pet,

Charlie. “Pets become family, and losing Charlie was a major blow that left a heaviness in my heart. I was genuinely surprised at how hard it was to process his passing, but writing this song helped me find some peace.”

Katy Guillen & The Drive will support Make That Sound on tour throughout the fall.
