Indie Music Women’s Featured Artist of the Day is…
Katie Fry
We asked Katie what it means to her to be an indie music woman artist:
“Being a woman is one of the biggest parts of who I am. As a songwriter, the music that I create is heavily influenced by themes in my life that relate to womanhood, such as being a mother, a wife and navigating through challenges of the world that are specific to being a woman.”
Katie is a Sacramento, CA based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar, harp, flute) with an Alt-Country-Pop inspired Folk sound. She writes songs about love, friendship, struggle and hope.
Katie released her self-produced debut EP, My California, in September of 2021. Music Connection Magazine published a critique and review of the collection of songs, rating the overall production and vocals 9 out of 10. The title track is an upbeat folk-country style tribute to growing up in rural California. Inspiration for the song came after Fry experienced the loss of her childhood home to a wildfire, displacing her parents. “It sure helps to be blessed with a great voice, and Fry definitely has that, expertly delivering songs with heart that connect with the listener” – Music Connection Magazine. Currently, she is gearing up for a full album release and has already introduced a few singles, with more scheduled to drop.
In addition to performing her own original music, Katie is a graduate of the Music For Healing And Transition Program, working as a Certified Music Practitioner at her local hospital providing therapeutic bedside music to patients of all ages. She plays a 34 string folk harp, specializing in singing songs from the 1920s-1950s for individuals living with dementia.
Katie’s upcoming single ‘Falling Leaf’ was released on August 11. Falling Leaf is a song with freeing lyrics that speak to letting go and moving on. The verses are built around a bass line with honest sounding doubled vocals. The song builds up to the chorus with jam band style drumming, B3 organ, soulful back up vocals, acoustic guitar and piano. What stands out the most is Katie’s flute solo, with melodic scales and dreamy reverb sound. Written and produced by Katie Fry, Mixed and Mastered by Andrew Lozano.
