Entertainment Magazine has recognized Katie Todd as "a breath of fresh air that the Chicago music scene has been waiting for." Lauded by iTunes.com as having one of the "top buzz bands in the country", Katie claimed a spot as the website's "Artist of the Week", earning over 200,000 downloads of their latest single "Face Down". On her most recent release, Make Some Time for Wasting, Katie's captivating voice and signature percussive keys-playing are showcased most boldly on her haunting single, "Leave," which tells a tale of woe that has radio and TV programmers hailing it as "one of the most perfect pop songs to come along in quite a while." Now she is back in the studio recording her third album, Mumbled Speech, slated for release by the end of this summer. The drummer, Mark Cameron, and bassist, Evan Cantor, continue to record and perform with her. Along with them are a couple of new additions, a horn, string, and guitar player. Katie is truly excited about the overall sound of the new album and is eager to complete it so she can share it with you.
