Downtown/Mercer Street Records</b> is proud to announce the release of Katie Herzig’s new studio album,
<b><u>The Waking Sleep</u></b>, on <b>September 20, 2011. </b>Her most sophisticated work to date,
<u>The Waking Sleep</u>, takes Herzig’s musical innovation to a new level. The album’s first track, ‘Free My Mind,’ is set for release this July.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:12.75pt"><span style="color:black">Following her last studio record,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b><u>Live in Studio: Acoustic Trio</u></b>, a stripped-down version of previously released music,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><u>The
Waking Sleep</u><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>delivers a profound and moving landscape of sound that highlights Herzig’s undeniable talent. Katie began writing/recording the new album in February of last year, celebrating her love for combining
digitally programmed sounds with organic and orchestrated instruments. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>The collection quickly illustrates Herzig as a hands-on artist who builds her songs in the same way she might mold a sculpture. Some of the stand
out tracks on the album include magnetic ‘Make a Noise,’ exhilarating ‘Way to the Future’ and heart-rending ‘Closest I Get.’<b> </b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to her new album, Herzig will be touring this September with the
<b>Ten Out of Tenn </b>Tour followed immediately by her <b>headlining tour</b> across the US with her band. (See routing below)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After several years of fronting Colorado-based band <u>Newcomers Home</u>, Katie decided to strike it solo and move to Nashville where she quickly became a fixture in the independent music scene. Since then Katie released several iTunes
singles and two studio albums, <u>Weightless</u> and <u>Apple Tree</u>, containing songs that have been featured on
<b>NPR</b>, <b>KCRW’s</b> <b>Morning Becomes Eclectic</b>, <b>Target, Honda </b>and<b> Samsung</b> commercials,
<b><u>Going The Distance</u></b> and <b><u>Sex and The City</u></b> soundtracks along with many television shows including 7 songs on
<b><u>Grey’s Anatomy</u></b>. She’s participated in Nashville’s <b>Ten Out of Tenn</b> tour,<b> Hotel Café Tour</b> and has spent the greater part of the last few years touring with her band around the US supporting artists like
<b>Brandi Carlile</b> and <b>The Fray</b> and several others. Katie was featured in
<b><u>Billboard</u></b><u> <b>Magazine’s</b></u> “Now Hear This” as well as one of
<b><u>PASTE</u></b><u> <b>Magazine’s</b></u> 25 “Best of What’s Next” artists.<o:p></o:p></p>
