Established in late 2013, Kind Dub brings a unique voice to Colorado independent music. Through a relentless work ethic, and undeniable dedication to making impactful music accompanied by powerful live performances, Kind Dub encompasses much more than music. Kind Dub always goes the extra mile to assist fellow artists with their creative agency, helping two independent Colorado labels win recent music video awards. Kind Dub continues to evolve their recording studio in Fort Collins, as well as specialize in digital media and video production with their headquarters at The Music District.

In 2017 they established the Colorado Come Up, a movement to build community through hip hop and began curating an annual event with The Mishawaka Amphitheatre dubbed Hip Hop On The Hillside. This is Kind Dub’s biggest production and performance taking place annually each summer. Kind Dub enjoys their live performances most to connect with new and old audiences, playing more than 20 festivals and closing in on 200 live shows, including almost two dozen out-of-state venues spanning from New York to California.

They self-produce a one-of-a-kind sound combined with powerful thought-provoking lyrics, which keeps the crowd groovin’ & moving towards a better tomorrow. Kind Dub has earned stages with some of their favorite national touring artists including People Under The Stairs, Hieroglyphics, Chali 2na, Living Legends, Zion-I, Grouch & Eligh, Murs, Arrested Development, Pharoahe Monch, Bone Thugs & Harmony, Immortal Technique, Nappy Roots, Rhymesayers, Masta Ace and many more. Kind Dub plans to pursue new festivals, explore untapped markets, and see more cross-country touring in 2020. Kind Dub is honored to have performed at many of Colorado’s iconic venues including Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Mishawaka, Fillmore Auditorium, Belly Up Aspen, Aggie Theatre, Levitt Pavilion, Cervantes’ Masterpiece,  The Fox Theatre, Animas City Theatre and The Black Sheep to name a few.

Roots-pop songstress Katey Laurel spins hopeful, romantic, introspective songs about our common humanity.  Her sound is reminiscent of an imaginary time and space where Natalie Merchant, Fiona Apple and Emmylou Harris formed a band and wrote songs together.
Katey grew up drawing pictures, writing stories, riding horses and playing in the woods in the Colorado mountains. This is the idyllic foundation from which she crafts her life and her music.  Katey's songs range from radio-friendly pop tunes to lush, cinematic songs for film and television. With background in Classical piano and French horn as well as guitar and voice, her artistic roots are both deep and diverse. Laurel draws her musical inspiration as a songwriter from many musical styles including bluegrass, classic rock, alternative, country, and even 80s dance-pop.
Katey has performed hundreds of shows via venues, radio, television stations and festivals in Colorado and around the US, including Hotel Cafe (LA), The Bitter End (NYC), Bluebird Cafe (Nashville), Hard Rock Café Denver and Nashville, Colorado State Fair and the Greeley Stampede. She has built a solid fan base with her unique voice and a satisfying blend of folk and pop, garnering airplay on Triple A and AC radio stations around the country including KALC, KMNT, KBCO, KFMU and KOTO.  Most recently she is a Great American Song Contest Top 5 Winner and NPR Mountain Stage NewSong Contest Regional Finalist, and has had two songs in rotation on Starbucks overhead programming.
As a live performer, she has shared the stage with Howie Day, Bill Mallonee, Katie Herzig, Matt Morris, Trevor Hall and others. With her latest album “Periscope” produced by industry veteran Warren Huart (The Fray, Aerosmith), Katey Laurel is now poised to reach an even larger audience in the days ahead.
