meet Katie

There are no strangers here— only friends you haven’t met yet. This is Katie’s chorus, both in her song Stranger in a Strange Land and in her life.

Based out of Pensacola, Florida, Katie Dineen has been playing music since childhood, first learning classical piano as a child before picking up guitar and veering towards folk and indie-rock music as a teenager. She started songwriting in earnest in her early twenties.

Songwriting is not only a personal endeavour for Katie but also a communal one. She founded and hosts the Pensacola Songwriter Rounds, a monthly show series with the intention to cultivate the Pensacola songwriter scene by providing a stage for songwriters to share their music, be mutually inspired, and collaborate with one another.

This One’s For You, Katie’s debut ten-track record, is out wherever you listen to music, and also available for purchase on bandcamp and as CDs. A mix of full-band and stripped-down, acoustic songs, This One’s for You is a labor of love that’s taken years to create. Songs explore themes of nature, connection, love and heartbreak, slowing down, and deep gratitude, particularly for the art of songwriting itself.
