Fantastic singer, songwriter and story weaver Katie Grace Harris is heading to the Book Tree for an autumn gig this October!
Katie’s first “instrument” is her distinctive pure voice – she uses it to draw her audiences into the story she is telling with ‘spine-tingling’ results. Her engaging live performances usually feature her playing a range of instruments including Piano, Piano Accordion and Shruti and she can often be seen toting a home-made chess board stomp box and a pair of sturdy boots for a full one-woman-band experience.
Drinks will be available to purchase at an informal bar before the show and during the interval. The concert will be in the atmospheric upstairs event space, surrounded by the building’s old oak beams.
Doors will open from 7pm, and the performance will start at 7.30pm.
About the Musician
Beautifully written…tightly observed songs and stories about real people — Fatea Magazine
Integrity pours out of her performance and her as a person — Reg Meuross
Katie’s Debut album The Toledo Sessions was released in late summer 2022. It includes two songs developed in collaboration with Reg Meuross and features musical contributions from Phil Beer, Odette Mitchell and Lukas Drinkwater.
Katie traces her folk roots to singing along as a girl with her Dad as they drove around in the rusty family Triumph Toledo. “We would sing songs from Joni Mitchell, The Spinners, Ralph McTell and James Taylor.” These early experiences clearly influenced her own musical sound. Her repertoire ranges from gentle new arrangements of traditional songs alongside raw and exposed original compositions. Her well-crafted live sets combine historic legends and stories with a smattering of social justice to temper the mix.
