Katie Knipp Is Sure to Stick Around After The Release of Her New Album "Take It With YOu"11/28/2018 It was clear to Katie Knipp at a young age that she loved to sing. In high school, Katie found songwriting to be a healing process from breakups and having witnessed a suicide. Additionally, Katie’s songwriting is inspired by movies and everyday events.
Growing up with a family from Kentucky who bonded over blues and country music, Katie finds her music to be in the style of americana. Having Bonnie Raitt as her idol, Katie released her new album Take It With You. Keep an eye out for Katie in 2019 and listen to her music on Spotify here. With a push from her grandmother who was a member of the musical theatre industry, Liddy Clark’s interest in singing began when she performed Colors of the Wind at her school’s talent show. Realizing her talent as a singer, Liddy’s parents offered to pay for vocal lessons and enroll her in music theatre productions. By the age of 13, Liddy had begun playing the guitar often covering songs by her idols John Mayer and Taylor Swift.
Now a songwriter as well, Liddy demonstrates her creativity in her music. However her latest single Shot Down tells of her own emotional experience after the shootings in Parkland where Liddy grew up. Attending school at USC, Liddy is open to collaborating with fellow students and will start performing acoustic sets at venues in the area. In fact, Liddy has agreed to perform during our Change the Day for Girls Concert Series at the Lighthouse Cafe in Hermosa Beach. More details to follow.
