November 22, 2009 - San Francisco, CA — 25-year old singer/songwriter, Katie Garibaldi, is proud to announce the honor of being named a Music Connection Magazine Top 100 Unsigned Artist of 2009. Published since 1977, Music Connection is the nation’s preeminent music industry trade magazine.

Katie, who recently released her sixth full-length CD, Next Ride Out, calls the Music Connection Magazine Top 100 recognition, “A prestigious honor that is equal parts humbling, exhilarating, and surprising as a bolt of lightning cutting through the darkness on a summer night.”
The Music Connection Magazine Top 100 recognition comes almost simultaneously with a stellar review of Next Ride Out, from SkopeMag.com . Critic Jimmy Rae gives the disc 4.5 Stars out of Five, stating “Katie Garibaldi seems to be the real deal here with her soulfully and emotionally drenched music. Garibaldi’s vocals seem to be so pure and real, which makes for one powerful listening experience,” and “Overall, Katie Garibaldi and her new work offer remarkable traits such as: true-to-oneself-artistry, excellent musicianship and lyrics and vocals to die for.”
