I was recently reminded of a very sweet review I received for my original holiday album ‘Home Sweet Christmas’ from Music Bin, an Italian music blog. 🎄 Realizing I neglected to share it in December, I thought today would make for a nice little Flashback Friday! ❄️🎁

Below are some translated excerpts... Full review HERE. (album available on Spotify if you need a dose of some Christmas-in-March spirit) 🎶☃️ Grazie Music Bin! ❤️

“…I (re)discovered this album by songwriter Katie Garibaldi, from San Francisco, but with at least a quarter of our own blood...a contemporary celebration along brilliant country/rock lines and folk/pop, intrinsically gospel in its most spiritual moments, such as, one above all, the splendid ballad Wonderful Mother Mary, with a wide melodic breath…”

Hi! I wrote an article about my experience as a songwriter branching out into the realm of music supervision. ✍🎶🎞

One of my hopes with this blog is to help demystify the field of music supervision, and offer a fresh perspective on the value of its place in the independent film industry by sharing what I’ve been learning on my journey. 🌠💡

You can read it on Medium here! 🏹

Hi! I hope 2021 has been off to a magical start for you!

A couple of weeks ago I launched a blog called Creative Owlchemy, a little space where I can explore the intersection of spirituality and creativity. I’ll be posting articles on the subject as well as sharing things I’ve created outside of my songwriting work, including poems and short stories.
