Seattle-based singer/songwriter Katie Davis writes beautiful, melancholic songs about the ambiguities of love and loss...and she performs them fearlessly with a voice that is as clear and strong as it is soft. It’s a combination rarely found, but one that speaks to an enormous wealth of talent. ... With her new EP – Three Songs – Davis reaches into territory that recalls early Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morissette, or perhaps The Story.

The result is absolutely beautiful. - Shh, Listen...
