Katie Garibaldi (Record Release) Mike Annuzzi, The Devil’s Chord

With her seventh full-length album release imminent, and a brand new endorsement deal with Two Old Hippies, who worked with Breedlove Guitars to build her a new custom guitar, Katie Garibaldi has proven to be an artist with staying power. Based in the golden city San Francisco, this determined and enthusiastic singer/songwriter/guitarist is an avid national touring performer who has acquired a devoted fan base, due in large part to her engaging live shows, and personal connection to her listeners through her music. She sings with an emotional nearness that, in combination with her melodic and catchy songs and her soulful and expressive vocals, captures her audience wherever she performs. While she’s been compared to household names such as Sheryl Crow, Jewel, and Taylor Swift, Katie has a characteristic musical style wherein her equally pop- and country-tinged folk-rock gives her a distinct and edgy sound—Americana with sparkling memorable melodies. Katie Garibaldi has been named a Music Connection Magazine Top 100 Live Unsigned Artist and is a recent recipient of the Songsalive! Songwriter of the Year award. Katie’s new album, Follow Your Heart, was recorded at John Vanderslice’s Tiny Telephone Recording Studios in San Francisco, CA, and engineered by Ian Pellicci. Follow Your Heart, to be released in July 2014, consists of 13 new tracks, which include her most personal recorded songs to date, and all seem to reflect back to her simple yet powerful message of the importance of having the conviction to follow your heart.
