Info
In 2006, after eight years of fronting the critically acclaimed Colorado-based band, Newcomers Home, and releasing her first solo record, Watch Them Fall, as a side project\\u2014singer/songwriter Katie Herzig retreated to the solitude of her bedroom studio. There, she single-handedly recorded and produced Weightless, a tour-de-force of innovative sonics and songwriting whose tracks have been prominently featured on NPR, KCRW\\u2019s Morning Becomes Eclectic, E.R., Smallville, and, most recently, on two episodes of television\\u2019s highest-rated drama, Grey\\u2019s Anatomy.

\\n

Following the release of Weightless, Herzig left Colorado for Nashville and immediately started to catch the attention of other artists. Her song \\u201cHeaven\\u2019s My Home\\u201d received a 2007 Grammy nomination for best country performance by The Duhks. She was also invited to open shows for The Fray and join PASTE Magazine and American Songwriter Magazine sponsored tours.

Performing Songwriter Magazine wrote, \\u201cKatie Herzig possesses gravity-defying powers on her latest release, balancing heavy and mournful lyrics with light pop melodies that bounce and float into the stratosphere.\\u201d PASTE Magazine\\u2019s Jason Killingsworth said, \\u201cKatie Herzig has a whimsical side that I love. Her music doesn\\u2019t take itself too seriously, and the lyrics always [have] a sharp emotional edge to them. I\\u2019m a huge fan.\\u201d
