"Katelyn is so energetic, so talented, so driven to succeed, that whatever her objective or goal is, she inevitably accomplishes yet another significant feat in her lifelong pursuit to perform & entertain; and pretty much by her own design. You gotta hand it to her... or should I say, applaud her."
Bobby Gale, plug (MUSIC) Inc. April 2010 - Canadian Radio Tracking Genius

Her vocals are amazing, I have seen her live back in Winnipeg singing and playing acoustic, she is truly talented. Katelyn is one to watch how her career unfolds with her original music content. Will have to catch her when she is with her band. One of my top CD’s to listen to.

"The heavy hitters can't upstage the hummable melodies and jangly hooks of her sunny root-pop, most of which wouldn't be out of place next to
sheryl Crow on your playlist."

"I was going to paint Grace Kelly once,... I regretted that it didn't happen until I met Katelyn, because she's like an incarnation of Grace. You can't fake that kind of aura. Her CDs are one thing, but hearing Katelyn play alone with her guitar puts me in a trance, Manitobans are so lucky to have this talent."

Being on stage and having an audience feel my songs along with me is the biggest high I could imagine, after all, music is the only thing that connects strangers on such an intimate level.”
With a new EP on the horizon, a Discovery Channel Showcase, and a top 4 girls spot from Canadian Idol under her belt, Katelyn Dawn has never been in such an exciting position! Her career is about to take flight and the possibilities are endless!
