Katie Knipp is a blues and Americana singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with four Top 10 Billboard Blues Albums. Think power house vocals, boogie-woogie piano and slide guitars.
Overflowing with the kind of painful self examination that growth requires, Katie Knipp’s latest release, Me, finds her exposed at the seams and sewing herself back together in front of her audience. Her fourth top ten Billboard charting album brings Knipp’s hard-fought personal and musical self awareness to the forefront of the contemporary Blues landscape. From sultry to social justice, Katie Knipp dives all the way in teaming her refreshing vulnerability with expert level musicality and composition. Knipp’s unique euphony and passionate storytelling has propelled her to stages alongside the who’s who of the Blues including Buddy Guy and Robert Cray as well contemporary favorites like Trombone Shorty and Fantastic Negrito.
“…serves up a radiant platter of her patented NOLA-steeped brand of slidin’ blues rock — smokey, syrupy and ever-genuine” -Aaron Davis, The Sacramento Bee
“Comparisons are odious, but …..Katie Knipp is a true original. The closest I can come to a description is a cross between Nina Simone and Mose Allison. Remarkable.” – Mick Martin
“Extraordinary vocals with lyrics that comfort or cut like a knife….delta deep slide and lusty insanity..this is the real deal Katie, brash and unruly, belting out originals from 6 previous releases as the band delivers in stereo- hi-fi tightly behind her.” -Darrell Sage, Blues Matters Magazine
“Her version of blues is raw and gritty, and she’s comfortable with a myriad of musical influences in her underlying soundtrack.” -Robert Leggett, No Depression Magazine
