About: After the critical and commercial success of her 2011 album The Waking Sleep and its subsequent packed-out tours, Katie Herzig is pleased to share her forthcoming album Walk Through Walls, which is due out on April 8. Walk Through Walls is a celebratory, love-struck album of sublime dream pop. Herzig has spent years playing festivals such as Bonnaroo and Summerfest and touring both as a headliner and as support for Brandi Carlile, Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson, The Fray, and as a member of 10 out of Tenn. She has had her music licensed for innumerable film, TV, and commercial uses including over 10 songs on Grey’s Anatomy and most recently, her song “Lost and Found” was featured in the trailer for Disney's Saving Mr. Banks and in a commercial for Carnival Cruises. Herzig recently teamed up with RAC for “We Belong,” a collaborative track that appears on RAC’s latest EP and earned love from LA’s KCRW. Herzig also co-produced songs on Ingrid Michaelson's forthcoming 2014 Lights Out album, including her first single “Girls Chase Boys.” To put Herzig in any sort of box is for it to be broken, as she continues to outdo herself with each new release. Her music is as intimate as it is epic - something that listeners have come to expect of Herzig - who will tour Walk Through Walls this spring with her band throughout the US.
