Katie Knipp · Tune In
Katie Knipp is a Sacramento-area singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist — one of Northern California's most distinctive voices in blues and Americana. Raised in Concord in the East Bay, she has released records since 2003 and now fronts the Katie Knipp Band, playing everything from intimate listening rooms to festival main stages. Onstage she's a one-woman arsenal, singing lead while moving between piano, organ and Wurlitzer, slide guitar, dobro and harmonica, with a voice critics have called "one of the most compelling in contemporary blues."
Her profile rose sharply in the late 2010s: "Take It With You" (2018) reached No. 10 on the Billboard Blues chart — the first of four straight Billboard Blues placements — and she won back-to-back Sacramento Area Music Awards for Best Blues Artist in 2019 and 2020. Her tenth release, the 16-track live album "Live at Theater 5150" (2026), was recorded before a sold-out Carmichael room with a band built around War veteran Pancho Tomaselli on bass; she calls it "my love letter to live music."
