Beneath the painted hues and infinite prairie skies of Saskatoon — a city in the heart of Canada — lies a soulful, creative spirit that proves there’s much more to the so-called ‘fly-over states’ than grassland and grain silos. Katie Tupper, an indie R&B musician, embodies that spirit and is determined to show there’s an entire world of boundary-pushing music at work within the often overlooked region. Tupper’s two EPs of heartland soul – 2022’s Towards The End, and 2023’s Where To Find Me – have amassed 11 million streams world wide, a JUNO Award nomination (2024 Traditional R&B-Soul Recording of the Year), the praise of tastemakers like Zane Lowe, and international radio spins from BBC 6Music (UK), FIP (France), and CBC (Canada). More recently, Tupper’s covers of everything from Hall & Oates to Jazmine Sullivan have gone viral on social media earning nods from superstars like SZA and Joe Jonas.
Katie Tupper returns with “Outside The Gate,” a devastatingly beautiful track about facing the reality of how you show up for someone you love. Reflecting on the song, Katie says, “I think more people need to feel allowed to admit that we will never be perfect in our relationships even when they are everything we’ve wanted.” And admit she does, with each poignant repetition of “I think I’m broken,” hitting deeper every time, giving a raw and beautiful testament to love’s imperfections.
