Picture

Singer-songwriter Katie Dahl comes to 702WI on Friday, September 28th for an acoustic performance! Doors open at 6:30pm, event begins at 7pm. Tickets are $15, available online and at the door. (Space limited, advance tickets recommended.)

Singer-songwriter Katie Dahl has performed her original songs everywhere from the dusty cliffs of Mali, to the winding canals of southern France, to the cedar forests of the American northwoods. Though she’s particularly well-respected on her home turf of Door County, Wisconsin, Katie tours regularly and has earned accolades nationwide for the depth and power of her alto voice, the literate candor of her songs, and the easy humor of her live performances. In 2015, Katie’s song “Crowns” hit #1 on the Folk-DJ charts, and she was selected for Falcon Ridge Folk Festival’s prestigious Emerging Artists Showcase. Richly steeped in the folk songwriter tradition, Katie navigates the muddy waters between the personal and the public with the skill of a writer twice her age.

Katie has four studio albums to her credit: County Line (2009), Leaky Boats and Paper Birds (2012), Ordinary Band (2015), and Solid Ground (2017). Her musical Victory Farm (live cast album released 2012; co-written with James Valcq and Emilie Coulson) is a fictionalized account of the real-life German POWs who came to Wisconsin to pick cherries during World War II. Her accolades include:

  • #25 Song, Folk DJ Charts (“In the Dark,” December 2017)
  • #15 Album, Folk DJ Charts (“Solid Ground,” October 2017)
  • Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artists Showcase (2015)
  • #1 Song, Folk DJ Charts (“Crowns,” 2015)
  • #6 Album, Folk DJ Charts (Ordinary Band, 2015)

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING...
“Poetic lyrics made even more evocative by gorgeous melodies and lovely guitar picking. Katie Dahl’s low, rich voice is the real deal, and you can feel her love for the land, lakes and people of the Upper Midwest in every song.”  Stephanie Elkins, Wisconsin Public Radio

“Katie Dahl’s music combines a love for her rural midwestern roots, a droll wit, and a clear-eyed appraisal of modern life, all served up in a voice as rich as cream.”  Karen Impola, Iowa Public Radio

“Imagine songs wrapped in a plaid flannel shirt and delivered with deep velvet vocals that evoke a tapestry of American scenes and people. That’s Katie Dahl you’re hearing, weaving the stories of her life – and yours. She is the quintessential real deal. Don’t ever miss a chance to see or hear her. Ever.”  Al Kniola, 88.1 WVPE Public Radio
