About Katie Dauson
Independent artist, Katie Dauson has unveiled her latest single “Go Go Go”, a vivacious garage-rock track inspired by sounds of the 1960s, compelling audiences to get up off their feet with its catchy guitar riffs and upbeat tempo. Originally, the song wasn’t supposed to see the light of day, with Dauson unsure of its purpose and potential. The great thing about writing songs is that you can always bring them back to life, and create something new out of it, no matter how long it’s been since its composition. “I wrote this song initially two years ago and put it on ice, because even though I liked it, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it. I finally decided to record it late last year and make it a single.” Musically, “Go Go Go” draws inspiration from 1960s rock and roll, specifically the Young Rascals first two albums “The Young Rascals” and “Groovin’.” The recording process was unique, as it always tends to be with Katie Dauson’s productions, with a left-handed Rickenbacker 1997 guitar to bring in those captivating riffs. “I do remember writing it on a sunny afternoon, and I definitely had in mind that I wanted people to be able to dance to this song.”
