Local Country Singer Gains Popularity by Hilary Whitaker KNDU TV
A passion for singing and song writing sent Kate Turner across the country, hoping to find her place in the music industry. But one phone call brought her back home. "I got a random phone call from one of my friends who said 'you should move home and let me record a couple of songs for you.'" Tuner said. It was all she needed to find comfort in the recording studio, and confidence in her lyrics. "I've have always been a writer and a singer, but it wasn't until the last couple of years that I was able to put them together." With a new awareness came a local country hit, written after a broken engagement. "Eventually it just kind of fell apart, and so I wrote that song 'Baby No'", explained Turner. Baby No" quickly took off. Getting hundreds of downloads on Itunes and thousand of hits on her social networking sites. "Social networking on the web has completely changed music and when you don't have a big name it has really been the one thing that has put my name out there," she said. Furthermore, her fans, which she likes to call "Dedi-Kates" have taken notice, donating money and following her success

Rising Country Artist to Appear on 102.7 KORD by Big Bear KORD
We have some fantastic talent in the Tri-Cities and chasing the dream to be a star has become a reality for some including Benton City’s James Otto…could it also happen for Burbank rising star, Kate Turner?! You may have read about her recently in the Tri City Herald, Kate Turner, who grew up locally in the Tri-Cities is currently in the process of recording her debut album. Backed by some of the best musicians in the Northwest, Kate is already grabbing the attention of fans all over with her fresh and original country music. You can check out footage below of Kate performing at Cedars Restaurant and Lounge earlier this month, and her new music video for her first single ‘Baby No’.

This is Book's Music feature by John Book
She is a new country singer that was in my local newspaper this weekend, so I decided to take a listen. She goes by the name of Kate Turner, and is from a place that was known as having a great “pizza barn”. It’s a small town in Eastern Washington called Burbank, which is not too far from where I reside. While people will see her and immediately think “ooh, female”, she’s much more than a pretty face. She is a musician and songwriter, and even studied to become a sports broadcaster according to an article on her by Tri-City Herald’s Dori O’Neal, which means she’s someone who wants to be in full control of her music career. It means if she wanted to, she could technically get into video/film directing, the sky is the limit, but for this video she passed it on to Chase Thompson. Country music fans tend to be devoted for the life of an artist, where one is able to play big venues but also still be welcome to play at county fairs and VFW’s, it is not an issue. Turner’s interview with O’Neal shows that she’s very determined, has already made music a big part of her life and wants to bring that love to a much wider audience. May this be an introduction.

Kate Turner Music Video Funraiser by Kickstarter.com
After recording and releasing her EP album, fans have been pushing Kate for a music video.

Kate has collaborated with the talented mister Chase Thompson of Soulfound Entertainment and together they have come up with an idea that will take the emotion and power behind the music of "Baby No" and turn it into a cinematic experience that will be sure to please all of Kate's fans. In order to do this however Kate needs her fans! Kate is reaching out to her fans and hopefully with the support of her newly started Dedi-Kates fanclub page as well as everyone else who has been behind her throughout this process can celebrate her music in a brand new way by helping her raise money to shoot this music video! With a goal of only $1,500 Kate is certain that between her facebook fans, friends, family, songblog and soundcloud follwers, that we will have no problem making this dream a reality!

Chasing a Country Dream by Dori O'Neal Tri-City Herald
Chasing a country dream Dori O'Neal, Herald staff writer Kate Turner is on a musical mission she hopes will take her all the way to a Nashville record contract. To help pave the way to that singing career, the 25-year-old Burbank woman will release her first music video, which she will debut at 7 p.m. Sept. 24 at the Towne Crier Tavern in Richland. The video was produced and directed by Turner's friend and fellow Tri-City musician Chase Thompson. But Turner is more than a country singer. She writes all her own songs and that's what caught the attention recently of the Big Machine record label in Nashville. Big Machine is interested in hearing more of my music. That's why we went in and recorded the EP album Baby No, which is the first single and the song that is used in the music video," Turner said. "The EP is being sent to the Big Machine later this month." Songwriting is a dream Turner has chased her entire life. "I've always wanted to do this," she said. But chasing that dream meant making sacrifices. A lot of people expected me to grow up and get a real job, but I didn't want to lose my music," she said. "I've wanted to do this my whole life." And sometimes love got in the way of her plans. I was engaged once, but everything kind of fell apart when I started pursuing this dream," Turner said. Turner played saxophone and clarinet at school but never sang in the choir. She would have preferred to quit high school to pursue music, but her parents weren't going to let that happen, she added. My parents (Sue and Larry Turner of Burbank) absolutely refused to let me quit, and I'm glad they did now," Turner said. After graduating from Columbia High School in Burbank, she attended Columbia Basin College for a short time where she sang with the award-winning FreeForm jazz band. Then she took off for the University of Kentucky to earn a degree in sports broadcasting. While in Kentucky, I took a trip to Nashville with some girlfriends from college, and while we were there, I talked to the manager of the Coyote Ugly (nightclub), who let me sing at the bar," Turner said. "After that, I realized this is what I really wanted to do, so I quit college and moved home so I could concentrate on the music." Turner is hopeful Big Machine will like what they hear on her latest album and help boost her onto the music charts. It can be frustrating sometimes, because local radio stations just won't play any of my songs," she said. "So having a big label like Big Machine take notice is exciting. I know exactly who I am, what I can do, where I am going," Turner said. "But mostly, I just love what I do."

Homegrown Burbank Country Singer by Kate Turner to play large venues this summer
WALLA WALLA — Saturday night in a winery on Main Street, 47 miles from her home town, Kate Turner sang like her dreams depended on it, which they do. “I really like the wineries because I really get to do more types of music,” the country music singer from Burbank said to more than 30 people, just before starting her first set at Walla Faces tasting room. Later this month, the up-and-coming country music singer from Burbank will get her first big break when she opens at the Texas Wish Jam in Fort Worth for Bad Company, Molly Hatchet and Jimmie Van Zant in front of an audience of 10,000. And she’ll get to open again at the Louisiana Jam in May.
