Katie Bates blurs the boundaries between genre and generation, creating a sound that nods to her influences — guitar-heavy rock & roll, 90s grunge, and timeless Americana — while rooting itself in the modern era. She's been a critically-acclaimed solo artist, and has earned a reputation as a top-shelf sidewoman, touring across the world with artists of all stripes — Americana acts like Hannah Aldridge; hard rockers like Jason Charles Miller; country singers like Henry Wagons and Sam Outlaw; and Aussie roots acts like The Pleasures. Even as she excels at supporting others, though, she shines her brightest when she's telling her own story. “Tunnel Vision” sits at the intersection of rock & roll, '90s-inspired alternative music. Digging deep into her roots here with overdriven guitars, stacked vocal harmonies, anthemic crunch, and a driving bass line - resulting in a gritty track that trades her Americana past for an amplified present.
