Katie Herzig is a singer-songwriter from Fort Collins, Colorado.
Katie Herzig was born in California to a musical family. When she was a year old her family moved to Fort Collins, Colorado where she attended Rocky Mountain High School. In her senior year of high school, Herzig received an acoustic guitar from her father which prompted her to begin playing the instrument. She attended the University of Colorado at Boulder where she majored in journalism with emphasis in broadcast production. In 2000, she graduated with a bachelor's degree in journalism.
While attending the University of Colorado, Herzig formed the band Newcomers Home with Tim and Laurie Thornton and Andrew Jed in the summer of 1997. Newcomers Home's music was primarily influenced by bluegrass and folk music; however, over time, the band's work became more influenced by pop music. Although initially Herzig suffered from stage fright and confined herself to singing backing vocals and playing the drums for the band, she eventually began to play the guitar and became a lead singer. The band broke up in 2006, leaving Herzig free to fully pursue her solo career.
Green, color of trees that grow
Well, I am barely breathing
A tangle of hate and love
I can’t tell if I am numb or feeling
Cause I am brokenhearted
And you are beautiful
I am undecided
And you are weightless
Sun, behind the blinds
I can’t open what I can’t find
And lies that taste so sweet
I’m not cravin’ anything I need
Well I am brokenhearted
And you are beautiful
I am undecided
