The music of Katie Kerkhover (follow her on twitter!) is a potent combination; infectious, and addictive. Her blistering blend of modern rock and throwback salutes to childhood influences, have caught our ear! Leaving her hometown of Rockwood, Illinois, at the rebellious age of 17, Katie was drawn to the stage lights of Nashville, Tennessee. There she quickly garnered the attention of Music City’s biggest bands. She spent three solid years as a touring musician, playing sold out shows on the nations largest stages. Katie was no usual sideman. Much to the dismay of the artist on tour, she often found herself thrown into the center stage spotlight by a chanting mob of spellbound fans. It was obvious to everyone that Katie’s star glistened well after the stage lights went dark. Now at the youthful age of 23, with eyes wide open, Katie looks to establish her own presence and rabid fan base.

Feed The Beat recently caught up with Katie and had the chance to ask her some questions. You can read the interview after the jump!
