Steeped in country roots, but never one to simply yield to the traditional Nashville sound, Katy stretches the country music genre in exciting new directions. Haunting blues vocals, towering country rock guitars, even reggae vibes come out in her explosive live performances.
In case you are not already familiar with Katy, she is one of the fastest rising names on the Americana/Country circuit, and pre-pandemic, as headline act at the UKCMSA Awards evening, hosted by Belles and Gals, took home awards for “Best Female Artist” and “Best UK EP/Album’ for her ‘Unfinished Business’ EP.
Maverick magazine gave Unfinished Business, which produced the Top 20 hit singles “Revved Up” and “Unfinished Business”, a 5 star review, noting “incredible vocals, slick guitar work, excellent rhythm and – most importantly - superb songs” with “raw talent seeping through each track”.
Katy Hurt is one of those rare talents that can write and perform with equal impact. The singer-songwriter’s work ethic and authenticity are apparent in each song and are further evidenced by her rigorous touring schedule and accolades. In 2018 she opened for Liam Gallagher at the Pilton Party to a crowd 8,000 strong and 2019 saw Katy and her band perform in excess of 150 shows across two sold out UK headline tours, as well as international dates in Canada, the US and the Caribbean where she performed alongside Sonia Leigh on the Melissa Etheridge cruise and opened for the Bellamy Brothers at their first UK show in over a decade.
During the past year, whilst unable to tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Katy has entertained thousands, right in their living rooms, with her weekly livestream series on Saturday nights and has recently begun a second series on alternate Wednesday’s where she dives into the origins of the music that raised her.
