KATIE HENRY (Philadelphia, USA)
US-based blues-rocker Katie Henry is getting ready to release the follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut album ‘High Road’. The New Jersey originating artist fast became a favourite on the New York live circuit, whilst receiving comparisons to legends such as Bonnie Raitt and Janis Joplin. Henry’s sophomore release was recorded in May 2021 at Brooklyn’s Degraw Sound and produced by Ben Rice. Speaking about her new album, the artist said: “We recorded the album live during the pandemic,” reflects Katie, “and it was so fun to be able to record in a room with people after feeling isolated for such a long time. The majority of the album was recorded live, and I love that feeling. It’s like capturing lightning in a bottle.” Katie Henry’s new album ‘On My Way’ features ten original songs and will be released via Ruf Records on the 28th of January. BLUESMATTERS.COM
