BIO
West Coast singer/songwriter Katie Thompson clearly has a following. Her sophomore album “Impossible” was funded by fans from all over the world.
Produced in the UK at Modern World Studios by renowned British producer, Greg Haver, the album is a treasure-trove of rare and beautiful songs which blend elements of pop, folk and country.
Notching up some impressive accomplishments including two albums, nominated for the National Country Music Awards 2011 and recently opened for Elton John at his only New Zealand concert in the new Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin.
“Katie is a really great singer with a hugely emotive voice. Her music is reminiscent of the current British folk sound of Laura Marling and Mumford and Sons, but what I like is that vocally she doesn’t really sound like anyone else.”
