London-based country singer-songwriter Kaity Rae has unveiled the first new material from her upcoming second EP This Time Around. The polished & summery single Before I Knew is a three minute illustration of her talents & showcases a songwriting craft rare in teenage troubadours.

Still only 18, Kaity has enjoyed a stellar start to her career. Influenced by classic singer-songwriter staples alongside the more contemporary pop-rock inspired sound of US country radio, her songs have been quick to make an impression with influential media tastemakers. BBC Introducing & Amazing Radio playlisted tracks from her debut Spark EP, whilst her inclusion on two Folkstock Records compilation releases last year led to glowing press from Music Week & The Sunday Times. Kaity has also been busy on the live circuit, supporting fellow rising UK country stars Sasha McVeigh & Sonia Leigh & US folkies Angel Snow & Jeffrey Foucalt on UK tours. She’s wowed audiences with performances at celebrated venues The Roundhouse, The Bedford & The O2 Islington, & will continue to pick up new fans at live shows & festivals this summer.
