Award-winning New Hampshire singer-songwriter Katie Dobbins creates honest, soul-stirring music that brings light to the darkness. A gifted storyteller with the heart of a poet, her songs explore life, faith, and relationships with warmth, depth, and quiet strength—inviting listeners to both reflect and feel. Her album There Is Light earned Album of the Year at the 2021 Limelight Music Awards, and her music has been featured on prominent radio stations including The River and Boston’s Hottest Country. Host Carolyn Kruse praises her sound as “sweet but bold,” noting that Katie’s voice is “reminiscent of one of her heroes, Jewel—but only deeper… a fearless spirit with a gentle touch.”

Katie has been recognized as Best Solo Act at the Best of Lakes Region Awards for three consecutive years and has received six New England Music Award nominations, most recently for Performer of the Year (2025). Deeply committed to celebrating original music and fostering community, she is an active presence in the New England music scene both on and off the stage.
