6-piece band: Kate- lead vocals and electric guitar, Corey- backing vocals (lead sometimes) and lead electric guitar, Sarah- violin and backing vocals, Adam- banjo and backing vocals, Stephen- bass and backing vocals, Ian- drums and backing vocals
According to Roger White (Dollywood’s Entertainment Coordinator), “Music fans everywhere need to see Run Katie Run live- they have blown it out of the water for three years in a row at Dollywood. Guests love their energy, their music, and their showmanship!”
Their music is, “comfortable, warm, and inviting” (Vents Magazine) and they sprinkle in the perfect amount of creatively arranged covers- such as Me and Bobby McGee, Jolene, Zombie, White Rabbit, and With a Little Help From My Friends- to keep every newcomer in the audience delighted to be there!
In 2021, the quintet of best friends released their first E.P., “RUNNING ON LOVE”, with reviews and previews running in Glide and American Songwriter-and they were the featured band at Dollywood’s Harvest Festival. Fast forward to 2023: the roots-rock band released their first L.P., “COWBOY BOOTS WITH FISHNET TIGHTS”, and they began expanding their footprint by playing more festivals and concert series, touring up-and-down the East coast, and opening for A1A and Ronnie McDowell. In April of 2024 the band shared a bill with Melissa Etheridge, Dawes, and Blind Boys of Alabama at Amplify Decatur Music Festival and on July 13 they opened for Mother’s Finest! They have even more tours planned, and they’ll be releasing 7 singles from May to December, most of which will be accompanied with videos of them playing/recording the songs in their home studio.
