Katie Sachs is an Asheville, NC - based songwriter, powerhouse vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist who sings from the guts and delivers a raw, urgently emotional musical experience to listeners. Through eccentric lyrics and catchy melodies, Katie reveals an inner world that is brutally honest, deeply vulnerable, and highly relatable. Her appreciation of wide-ranging musical styles comes through in her work, and makes it hard to put a label on her. If influences were ingredients, they would include: a sauce of Billie Holiday, dash of David Byrne, pinch of Pixies, and a hint of Feist. Her 2021 release "The Factory Of Almosts" is an adventurous, multi-genre masterpiece that explores the complexities of romantic relationships and simultaneous discovery of self. "The Factory" features performances by top musicians from her old stomping grounds of Austin,TX and Boston, MA, as well as members of Asheville's premier Indie Rock trio The Get Right Band.
With a degree in creative writing, extensive national touring, and over 20 years of songwriting behind her, Katie is a seasoned performer who knows how to connect with her audience and make them cry, laugh, ponder, or fall silent. She has performed at iconic venues such as: Club Passim in Boston, MA, Hole in the Wall, Strangebrew and the Driskill Hotel in Austin, TX and the Threadgill stage at Kerrville Folk Festival. Co-bills include the likes of Heather Maloney, Ley Line, Peter Tork (Of the Monkees) and trading songs around campfires with a then-unknown Adrianne Lenker (Big Thief.) Be sure to check out "The Factory of Almosts" on Bandcamp, Spotify and all other online streaming platforms and stores. Catch one of her live shows with her brand new four-piece Indie Rock band!
"I was shopping for peaches at the Farmers Market and heard the low thrum of a baritone Ukulele, and a voice somewhere between Billie Holiday and David Byrne. It was Katie Sachs. Delicious melodies. Juicy Lyrics." -Monte Belmonte. 93.9 The River
