Private Concert: Katie Knipp
For tickets, please use link at bottom.
A Young Elvis was asked who do you sound like? His reply, "I don't sound like nobody." The same could be said for Katie. This is a woman with the rarest of gifts- her own voice. Having hit #4 on the Blues Albums Billboard Charts with her 6th album release titled "The Well," and then #10 on the charts with her 5th album "Take it With You," Northern California Blues Americana Siren Katie Knipp is equipped with powerful vocals and plays a variety of instruments from boogie woogie piano to slide guitar, to honest harmonica laden stories in between. Her various performance formats from raw solo act to full band captures audiences hearts from her first notes. She has opened for Robert Cray, Jimmie Vaughan, Joan Osborne, The Hidalgos (David Hidalgo of Los Lobos), The Doobie Brothers, Tim Reynolds, Jon Cleary, Ruthie Foster, Joe Louis Walker, The James Hunter Six, William Duvall of Alice in Chains, among many others. She played the 2019 Mammoth Blues Festival as the only solo female act that included headliners Buddy Guy, Trombone Shorty, Charlie Musselwhite, and more. She has won two SAMMIES-2020 and 2019 (Sacramento Music Awards) for Best Blues Artist, and was nominated Artist of The Year by The Sacramento News and Review. She has been honored Female Artist of the Year 2020 by the Country Folk Americana Blues Music Realm. She has gained worldwide radio support, putting both "The Well " and "Take it With You" on the Roots Music Report in Top Contemporary Blues Albums spun for 2018-2021.
“Her version of blues is raw and gritty, and she’s comfortable with a myriad of musical influences in her underlying soundtrack. The heavy use of resonator guitar on the first track and a climatic bass line on the second track announce to the world that this lady can sing any style she wants. There isn’t a weak track on the album, and quite frankly, this one is the perfect candidate for the repeat button.” -Robert Leggett, No Depression Magazine

With northern California roots, award-winning singer-songwriter, Jessica Malone writes lyrics that seem to grow from the landscape itself. Her voice whisks you away to places of both comfortable familiarity and dreamlike longing. The soulful songstress creates a one-of-a-kind sound that blends a rootsy Americana with elements of folk, country rock, bluesy soul, and sultry jazz. Malone's songs evoke a sense of wanderlust, self-discovery, and her unfiltered approach to songwriting creates music that will take you back in time, while her heartfelt lyrics keep you rooted in the present. Her sound is both tight and playful with acoustic guitar and a special feature with the romantic stylings of a gypsy violin.
