Artist Bios

Katie Dobbins

Award-winning New Hampshire singer-songwriter Katie Dobbins creates honest, soul-stirring music that brings light to the darkness. A gifted storyteller with the heart of a poet, her songs explore life, faith, and relationships with warmth, depth, and quiet strength—inviting listeners to both reflect and feel. Her album There Is Light earned Album of the Year at the 2021 Limelight Music Awards, and her music has been featured on prominent radio stations including The River and Boston’s Hottest Country. Host Carolyn Kruse praises her sound as “sweet but bold,” noting that Katie’s voice is “reminiscent of one of her heroes, Jewel—but only deeper… a fearless spirit with a gentle touch.”

Katie has been recognized as Best Solo Act at the Best of Lakes Region Awards for three consecutive years and has received six New England Music Award nominations, most recently for Performer of the Year (2025). Deeply committed to celebrating original music and fostering community, she is an active presence in the New England music scene both on and off the stage. Her latest single, Our Love Is Like Snow, is a hopeful love song that compares lasting love to the magic of the first snowfall — pure, timeless, and full of wonder. With vivid winter imagery and tender emotion, the song celebrates a love that never fades, evoking the childlike joy of running into the snow and the enduring warmth that keeps it alive through every season.

A Listening Room Experience

Hermit Woods is excited to bring talented artists from New England and beyond to perform for you. Each performance will provide you with an intimate, up-close, and personal experience with the performing artists. We ask our audience please refrain from talking during the featured show. Your silence will allow the artists and the audience to immerse themselves in the experience, which is not otherwise possible in larger, noisier environments.
