In 2006, after eight years of fronting the critically acclaimed Colorado-based band, Newcomers Home, Katie Herzig moved to Nashville to strike it solo. Before leaving Colorado, she single-handedly recorded and produced Weightless, a tour-de-force of innovative sonics and songwriting. Since then Herzig’s song “Heaven’s My Home” received a 2007 Grammy nomination and she has steadily become a fixture in Nashville’s up-and-coming indie music scene. Herzig’s songs have been featured on NPR, KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic, One Tree Hill, Bones, The Secret Life of Bees, Sex and the City The Movie Vol. 2 Soundtrack, and episodes of television’s highest rated drama, Grey’s Anatomy. Katie has toured with the Tenn out of Tenn tour, Hotel Café Tour, PASTE Magazine songwriter tour and has supported national acts such as The Fray, Brandi Carlile, Shawn Colvin, Aqualung and others. In 2008, Katie is featured in Billboard Magazine’s “Now Hear This” as well as one of PASTE Magazine’s 25 “Best of What’s Next” Artists. She continues to out-do herself with each new musical endeavor. Her latest is “Apple Tree”: a spellbinding, uniquely immersive listening experience that manages to be at once playful and impassioned--challenging and comfortable---intimate and epic… which is exactly what listeners have come to expect of Katie Herzig.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
Just stopping by to see how things are going!! Hope you're feeling well - so many people are sick these days :( Keep up your awesome work - it's true inspiration for independent artists like me ;) Maybe if you have a sec, you could check out my new online merchandise store!!
