Katie Deal was country when country wasn’t cool. This singer-songwriter grew up in the foothills of the North Georgia mountains and was raised on the classics. Since leaving home for her first professional gig in Memphis, Tennessee, she has wowed audiences nationally and internationally, most notably for her portrayal of Patsy Cline (two national tours of A CLOSER WALK WITH PATSY CLINE.) Best known for her authentic country sound, Katie regularly performs in touring concerts honoring the greats: I GOTTA RIGHT TO SING THE BLUES: A SALUTE TO ELLA, JUDY & PATSY; KATIE DEAL IN TODAY, TOMORROW & FOREVER: A TRIBUTE TO PATSY CLINE; CLASSIC NASHVILLE ROADSHOW WITH JASON PETTY; and her latest, WILDFLOWERS: THE WOMEN OF COUNTRY MUSIC. Katie frequently performs as a guest vocalist with the Atlanta Pops Orchestra and can be seen in a coffee shop playing an original acoustic set or in theatrical productions across the country. An accomplished actress, Katie's regional favorites include: KEEP ON THE SUNNY SIDE (Sara Carter), 9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL (Doralee), RING OF FIRE (June Carter), and THE SPITFIRE GRILL (Percy - Ostrander Nominee). She has been featured in two major motion films: LET'S BE COPS and BILLY LYNN'S LONG HALFTIME WALK. Katie was named the 2016 Georgia Country Artist of the Year and the 2016 Atlanta Society of Entertainers Recording Artist of the Year.
