Cold River Records’ President Pete O’Heeron announced earlier today that artist Katie Armiger will be taking a “breather” to pursue other career aspirations. During the last nine years Armiger has released four albums with Cold River Records, headlined two national tours, made her debut on the Grand Ole Opry, and has played multiple shows here in Minnesota!
“It has been the thrill of a lifetime to work with her and watch her blossom into one of the best singer-songwriters of her generation,” says O’Heeron. “Katie is a special talent and an even better person. Watching her grow and reach for her goals has been so much fun…. We care deeply for Katie as a person and artist. To our radio partners, we thank each of you for your support and friendship through the years. We hope to have an opportunity to thank each of you in person and we will be in touch very soon.”
O’Heeron adds that there are currently no plans to reduce staff at Cold River and will have more information about the label’s future in the next few days.
