Katie Armiger
Template:Infobox musical artist 2
Katie Armiger is a 16-year-old aspiring country artist from Sugarland, Texas. She was first inspired to pursue country music after winning a Houston city-wide competition for young country singers.[1]
Her first album, self-titled, will be released on Houston based Cold River Records in the U.S. on August 21 2007. It was produced by Mark Oliverius[2], the producer for other country acts such as Lorrie Morgan and Trick Pony. The first seven tracks of her album were co-written by Armiger with Oliverius and Ashlee Hewitt.
Armiger's first single, "17 in Abilene,"[3] is currently climbing the country radio charts at a rapid pace. On the Music Row country charts, the single broke through the top 50 songs on July 27, 2007.[4] It has received a fair amount of critical acclaim from all over the music community, including from noted country critic Music Row critic Robert Oermann, who said:
"Contrary to the title, she’s actually only 16. But there’s nothing juvenile about her delivery. This gal really belts it on this driving rocker. She nails every note and has full command of her vocal instrument. A righteous performance all the way. No wonder she beat 150 other young contestants to be named Houston’s Best Country Singer. Sign me up for the fan club."[5]
Katie has also given multiple performances at the CMA Music Festival[6], and is currently doing a radio tour across certain states in the U.S.
