Revved Up - Katy Hurt
LCM #SongOfTheDay - ‘Revved Up’ - Katy Hurt
We have something special today to get your blood pumping, your heart beating faster and toes tapping. ‘Revved Up’ is the excellent new country rock single from young UK Country star Katy and her band The Healers. It’s the second single from the highly anticipated ‘Unfinished Business’ EP which was recorded in Winnipeg, Canada with Juno Award winning producer Murry Pulver. The wonderful video for the song is a spaghetti western themed ‘Bonnie & Clyde’ heist story directed by Ryan Say.
The first single from the new EP, ‘See Ya Later’ was released on July 30th and currently has received airplay on over 30 radio stations including ‘Chris County’ and ‘Eagle’ and has already over 90,000 streams on Spotify.
Katy Hurt has quickly become a leading young star on the UK Country/Americana scene and all this without so far releasing a full length studio album. 2018 has seen her open for Liam Gallagher at Pilton Party, support Jools Holland, receive a nomination for “Best Country/Folk Act” at the Unsigned Music Awards, as well as performing at festival slots at Country 2 Country, BlackDeer, Stone Free, Rhythmtree, Cornbury and many more.
Katy Hurt has lived a lot of country for a 20-year-old. American culture is stamped on her soul from a childhood living there. Then she returned to England to put her love of Nashville sounds to use. Katy spent 2017 performing at over 100 shows around the country following the launch of her EP “Pieces of Me”, with songs impressing fans by combining the honest lyrical content of country with the riffs and raucous vocals of southern rock.
BBC Radio 2’s Paul Sexton described Katy as “One of the most exciting prospects on the burgeoning country scene”, saying “Hurt’s confident, distinctive EP is the latest evidence of a career that’s already produced an iTunes UK Country No. 1 in ‘Love You More,’ among other successes”.
