"Katie Haverly started off the evening with a marvelous set that included a bunch of new numbers. Area treasure Haverly is better than a good portion of the touring singer-songwriters that sweep through our burg; get out and see her if you can." Erik Hage - Metroland, 11/4/03
" Every now and then a musician comes along with just the right combination - beauty, voice, lyrics, and soul blend effortlessly with hard work, dedication, and natural talent to produce a performer serious enough to grab you by the lapels, shake you around and let you drop, astonished but happy and eager for the next shot. Katie Haverly has all of these qualities and more in spades." -Joe Collier - Flagstaff Live
"There are singers, and then there are singers – and Katie Haverly’s one of the latter, with one of those spectacularly effortless-sounding voices that reaches all over the scale and explores all manner of sound without ever coming across as forced or strident or technically perfect for technical perfection’s sake. You hear the human being when she sings, not the studio or room or microphone that makes her sound so good, as the warmth and intimacy of her voice sucks you into the place where melody is pure and singing is an expression of a soul unbound.” – Metroland. - Metroland
" Katie Haverly is blessed with copious talent as a vocalist, guitarist and songwriter, and we are lucky that she's willing to bless us with the same on a regular basis, seeing how she's back in Albany after stinits in Colorado, Arizona, and Chicago. Their loss. Our gain." - Metroland, 2002 - Metroland

That’s because her writing takes places, people, and pictures and fills them with the emotion of human experience. Having taken her music from Arizona to Colorado to Chicago and finally settling in Albany, NY, Katie has woven her travels and life stories into tapestries of sound. Performing primarily solo/acoustic on guitar and piano, Katie recently was voted best female singer/songwriter by Albany’s Metroland “Best of” Edition in 2002, and best female vocalist in 2003. Her music has been compared to the likes of Joni Mitchell, Nina Simone, Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, and Tori Amos. Katie’s 1999 recording, “Face Down”, is followed up by her new full-band album, “The City”.
