Award-winning artist Katie Dobbins draws from a palette of contemporary folk and new country to create a genre uniquely her own. With a mastery of storytelling and the heart of a poet, this soulful songstress captures elements of life and relationships in ways that lift the spirit and challenge the soul. Dobbins' music has been featured by renowned press outlets including Deli Magazine and Boston Voyager. Carolyn Kruse of Country 102.5 WKLB raved, "Sweet but bold, Katie's voice is reminiscent of one of her heroes, Jewel, but only deeper . . . a fearless spirit with a gentle touch." Tom Bianchi, Talent Buyer at Somerville's The Burren, voiced "her message is as important and symbiotic with the music. With gorgeous harmony and song Katie lyrically weaves in stories of healing, growing and moving forward through the struggles of life." Dobbins enhances this energy through her sophomore album, There Is Light, with remarkably honest songs that capture seasons of both hardship and joy, but hold onto the hope that light will always illuminate and overpower darkness. Awarded Album of the Year at The 2021 Limelight Music Awards, songs from There Is Light have hit airwaves on prominent New England radio stations including The River, The Hawk, and WATD, and the full record is available on all digital platforms. Dobbins has recently released a collection of singles she recorded at Rocking Horse Studio in NH. Giants is an empowering anthem that tackles life's challenges head on. With dynamic production and powerful lyrics, the song encourages listeners to conquer self-limiting beliefs, overcome obstacles, and embrace their inner strength. The collection also includes Just Cause I Can, Wild, and her newest release Grateful, featuring a delicate interplay of violin, cello, and piano, building with the gentle strum of acoustic guitar, subtle electronic drum rhythms, dreamy electric guitar accents, and inspirational harmonies. Grateful's captivating melodies and introspective lyrics invite listeners to reflect on life's blessings and embrace a sense of peace and thankfulness.
