    Join host Rich Reardin as he sits down with Asheville-based singer/songwriter Katie Oates. A lifelong vocalist, Katie’s journey from belting hymns in her crib to finding her own voice is a story of musical evolution and personal growth. Raised in a preacher’s household, Katie’s diverse vocal training spans genres like classical, folk, jazz, blues, and more, leading her to release multiple albums, including Something True (2016), Play Me (2017), and We Go On: Si Kahn’s Songs of Hope in Hard Times (2021).

    Katie’s fifth album, Edge of a Hurricane (2024), marks a return to her own songwriting after years of creative pause. Through a mix of folk, rock, blues, and even a murder ballad, Katie’s new work confronts both personal and societal storms. Tune in to hear about the breakthrough moment that reignited her passion for songwriting, how nature inspires her creative process, and the power of choosing love in the face of adversity.
