From even the first note of a
Katie Herzig tune, you know you've stumbled into something special. Katie began her career while in college as the lead singer for Boulder-based Newcomers Home. That experience lasted for eight years and took her all across the US. The band released four solid CDs that sold some 15,000 copies and built them a loyal fan base. Not bad for a bunch of Colorado upstarts.
In 2005 Katie released her solo debut, Watch Them Fall, which is chocked full of tender acoustic renderings that reveal the emotional inner-workings of a seeker of truth and love. Katie moved to Nashville in 2006 and offered up Weightless, which was self-recorded/produced and mixed by Gary Paczosa (Grammy-winning engineer/producer for Alison Krauss, Mindy Smith, and Nickel Creek). In support of Weightless, Katie has opened shows for The Fray and other artists, while also making time for the PASTE Songwriters tour with Jeremy Lister, Sandra McCracken, and Matthew Perryman Jones. To take matters even further, Katie's song "Heaven's My Home" was nominated for a 2007 Grammy for Best Country Performance by the Duhks. She has also had TV placements on various shows including "Smallville" and "ER."
"Katie Herzig possesses gravity-defying powers on her latest release, balancing heavy and mournful lyrics with light pop melodies that bounce and float into the stratosphere."
