EP79 - So What's Been Happening? - Katie Bates
Melbourne Americana singer-songwriter Katie Bates has been performing live for over a decade. Obsessed and inspired by the music of the classic and alternative country artists from the 1960s and 70s. Katie’s songs brim with honesty and more than a hint of grunge and grit. She brings an attitude to the table that is seldom seen in the Americana/roots scene - a fire in the belly that simmers beneath a sweet surface of a gifted storyteller. Since immersing herself in the vibrant Melbourne alt-country/Americana scene, Katie has performed as a backing vocalist and occasional opening act for artists such as Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes, James Ellis and The Jealous Guys and Ben Mastwyk. She has also opened for the likes of Andrew Swift, Tracy McNeil and most recently touring the East Coast supporting American singer-songwriter Hannah Aldridge. Katie’s sound pays respect to the likes of Gillian Welch, Tom Petty, Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris but also leans heavily from Nirvana, PJ Harvey, Alanis Morissette and Audioslave.
