Female

Because today's music world is quite inundated with decent and experienced singer/songwriters, a widespread cliché has grown deeming many female artists just a "chick with an acoustic guitar." San Francisco's Katie Garibaldi challenges this axiom by offering something original and distinctive, as well as possessing a strong business savvy that has gotten her far ahead on the road of an indie artist.

Just 25, Katie has achieved so much in her young career, more than most who have been at it for decades. She has self-recorded, produced and released already five albums in her young life, as well as other recordings, constantly tours the country promoting her music and performing, and runs her own record label—Living Dream.

Concentrating on songs about relationships, love, pain, and hope, often based on real experiences—Katie Garibaldi sings with an emotional nearness that, in combination with her melodic and catchy songs and her soulful and expressive vocals, captures her audience wherever she performs. Whether she’s performing solo or with a backup band, Katie has a characteristic musical style wherein her equally pop- and country-tinged folk-rock gives her a distinct and edgy sound.

A budding humanitarian, the artist has done several benefit shows, directly working with non-profit organizations, including Guitars Not Guns, Toys For Tots, Music in Schools Today, and GINA For Missing Persons.
