Katie Pruitt is living proof of music’s power to transform the way we experience the world. Soon after the arrival of her acclaimed debut Expectations—a 2020 LP on which she documented her journey in growing up queer in the Christian South—the Georgia-bred singer/songwriter/guitarist heard from countless listeners that her songs had impacted their lives on an elemental level. With her sophomore album Mantras, the Nashville-based musician now looks inward to explore such matters as gender identity, self-compassion or the lack thereof, and the struggle for peace in times of chaos and uncertainty—ultimately arriving at a body of work that speaks to the strength in undoing harmful self-beliefs and fully living your truth. Aside from being known for her personal and conversational lyrics, Pruitt prioritizes the importance of live performance and is headed out on her first Headline Tour since 2021 this spring (Tickets available at www.katiepruitt.com) Her sophomore LP “Mantras” will be released April 5th, 2024 and is now available for preorder.
