Katie Perkins

Katie Perkins is a GRAMMY-balloted country artist who blends powerhouse vocals with unforgettable live performances. With over 23 years of experience, Katie has taken the stage at iconic venues like the XL Center in Hartford, The Big E, and the Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun. She even claimed first place at the USA World Showcase in Las Vegas—early milestones in a career defined by passion and perseverance.

Katie’s love for music began before she could speak, and by the time she was 11, she knew she was destined for the stage. That destiny faced its greatest challenge at 15, when a severe heart condition required open-heart surgery. Doctors warned it could threaten her ability to sing, but Katie stood firm: if she couldn’t sing, she didn’t want to go through with it. Thankfully, the operation was a success, preserving her voice and solidifying her purpose to share her music with the world.

In shaping her sound, Katie has collaborated with GRAMMY Award-winning engineer Joel Soyffer and refined her vocal technique under the guidance of celebrity vocal coach J Chris Griffin. The result is a signature style that brings authenticity and emotional depth to each performance.

Her original songs delve into love, heartache, and growing up, connecting with audiences through honest storytelling. Whether backed by a full band or in an intimate acoustic duo setting, Katie’s emotional delivery, crowd engagement, and occasional ventures onto the dance floor turn each show into a memorable, interactive experience. Her latest single, “Keep On Dreaming,” is a testament to her belief in perseverance, encouraging fans to chase their dreams no matter the obstacles.

Fans describe Katie as “the real deal,” praising her voice, song selection, and balance of professionalism with a personal touch. Fun fact: she can hold a note forever, but has never managed to blow out all her birthday candles in one go. Surprising as it may seem, she’s actually quite introverted offstage—yet you’d never guess it from her dynamic, high-energy performances.
