Studio Visit & Home Concerts!

9/5/2012

My IndieGoGo project has been going for just under 2 weeks and thanks to 21 wonderful people I'm already up to $1,200!!! Enter new perks!

Studio Visit
Come join us in the studio when we record the live EP!! I understand that $600 is quite a bit of cash so I was thinking - if you can con 6 people max. into contributing to the combined value of $600 then the nominated person (hopefully you) can see how the whole process of recording happens as well as have a great time with us all! More details here.

Home Concert
Do you have a birthday party or anniversary coming up... or just want an excuse to have a party? For $1,000 you'll get an acoustic show at your home or venue and also the songbook and all the perks from the gift set. I'm sure if you've got a favourite song or two I can learn them up especially!!

$25 EP
Grab yourself a signed copy of the EP!! By pre-purchasing the EP you'll also be sent a copy of the singles I will be recording before they're released to the public!!

If you can share my campaign online that would be AWESOME! Help me get my GoGo factor up!!! Just paste this bad boy around the place http://igg.me/p/26914?a=27110

Recording in Christchurch

8/29/2012

So . . . I have started a brand new mission! It's been two years since I was in a studio and I have some new songs I wanna get recorded. I will be working with producer Greg Haver and plan on heading to Quicksand Recording Studios, CHCH, in November.

I'm wanting to record a 5 track live EP & also 3 fully recorded singles but recording ain't cheap, so . . . if you would like you are able to pre-purchase the EP and also some other pretty cool perks on of which I could come and play at your house for your friends and family!
Please take a look here www.indiegogo.com/KTinCHCH

I need as much help as possible so please help me by buying a EP, a download, or just helping me spread the word on Facebook. That would be O for AWESOME!! (sorry a bit of Kiwi there for you!)

If you've got any questions fire away!!

Cheers
Katie

Please check out this track and consider leaving a tip.

TIP JAR
Above you'll see a little tip jar. This is from Music Xray - an online platform where artists interact directly with music industry professionals, have their music considered for opportunities and get straight-forward critiques and career coaching.

It's pretty cool and I thought I'd give it a go - see if people like to listen and perhaps tip if they like what they hear.

Cowgirls & Angels

Hopefully by now you all follow me on Facebook - if not you would have missed out on seeing all the photos from the Cowgirls & Angels concert that was held at Hokitika's Regent Theatre on Friday 27th July. Click below to see the album and also more video footage will be uploaded to YouTube in the following weeks.

I was one of the organisers and couldn't be more happy with the turn out we had. The theatre was packed and we got a great little write up in the Hokitika Guardian. "Katie was in fine lyrical voice, singing quiet soulful country ballads, with a bit of raunchiness."

So what's next . . .

Well this time next week I will be packing my bags getting ready to head to the National Country Music Awards as a nominee for New Zealand Female Artist of the Year 2012. I will be performing at Sky City Hamilton on Friday 10th and attending the awards on Sat 11th. Des Hetherington from Hokitika will also be heading up to represent the Coalrangers which are in the Group of the Year category.

Good As Gold has just been released to Radio in Australia! This means you can contact any station over there and let them know you want to hear Good As Gold which is out on #159 CRS .

So this will all keep me rather busy but if you've been paying attention on Facebook big things are underway and I'm going to once again need your support in spreading the word. It's all very exciting and means NEW SONGS!!!! So stay tuned boys & girls . . . .

Katie

Katie Thompson nominated for Female Country Artist 2012

6/14/2012

West Coast singer/songwriter Katie Thompson is one of the nominees for Female Artist of the Year at the 2012 New Zealand Country Music Awards.

2011 was a busy year for Katie, releasing her 2nd album Impossible, opening for Sir Elton John and the release of 3 singles with accompanying music videos. The single’s “Good As Gold”, “Impossible” & “Cruel to Be Kind” all made it onto separate Kiwi Hit Discs – this is a NZ On Air produced promotional CD which is mailed to every radio station in New Zealand.

Katie received funding from NZ On Air to make the music video for her latest release “Cruel to Be Kind”. With a South Island tour complete she is now planning a National tour come summer.

Katie was a finalist for Female Artist of the Year 2011 and would relish the chance to attend the awards as a finalist in August.

“I really enjoyed getting to meet the other artists. It’s not often you get to be in the same room as a true self made country legend like Dennis Marsh and have a laugh or two with him. Being a part of an award night like this is an amazing opportunity,” she said.

The top 3 finalists are selected by online votes here: http://www.kiwiproamcountrymusic.co.nz/
Voting closes 30th June.
