LOTD Presents: Katie Knipp at Watermelon Music
Friday, July 10th 7pm Door / 7:30 Show

Katie Knipp is a powerhouse blues and Americana artist from Northern California, celebrated for her raw, soul‑deep vocals and multi‑instrumental fire. A Billboard‑charting songwriter and performer, she blends blues, Americana, rock, and genre‑bending experimental edges into a sound that’s unmistakably her own.

Born in Alameda and trained in music at Cal State East Bay, Knipp has built a national reputation through relentless touring and a string of acclaimed releases. Her albums Take It With You (2018), The Well (2021), Live at The Green Room Social Club (2022), and Me (2024) all landed on the Billboard Blues Albums Chart, with The Well debuting at No. 4.

A two‑time Sacramento Music Award winner for Best Blues Artist (2019, 2020), Knipp has shared stages with legends including Robert Cray, Jimmie Vaughan, Joan Osborne, The Doobie Brothers, and Ruthie Foster.

Known for her electrifying live shows—switching between piano, slide guitar, and harmonica—Knipp continues to be one of Sacramento’s most dynamic and nationally recognized musical voices

MISNER & SMITH AT WATERMELON MUSIC

SATURDAY, AUGUST 1 7:00 DOOR / 7:30 SHOW

Misner & Smith are a Northern California duo known for their soaring harmonies, finely crafted songwriting, and genre-blending acoustic sound. Formed by Sam Misner and Megan Smith, the pair have spent nearly two decades creating music that draws from folk, Americana, jazz, and rock influences, earning them a reputation for songs that are both poetic and emotionally resonant. 

Their work is defined by precise, story-driven songwriting paired with an improvisational spirit, a combination that has led critics to describe their music as “beautiful complex poetry.” Their latest album, All Is Song, represents their most transformative work to date—an album shaped by years of writing, reflection, and deep musical exploration. 

Rooted in their California upbringing—Sam from Sonoma County and Megan from Davis—the duo’s music carries a strong sense of place, often reflecting the landscapes and emotional textures of the region. Whether performing as an intimate two-piece or with a full band, Misner & Smith deliver performances marked by warmth, chemistry, and a rare vocal blend that has become their signature.
