Katie Armiger Helping to Raise Awareness for Alzheimer’s

Rising country artist Katie Armiger will help the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) raise awareness of and support for the care needs of families affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias by performing at the “For The Love of George” event October 9th. Katie will join other country artists including Emily West, Kathy Mattea, Lani Nash, and Mindy Smith to perform at the event being held at the Country Music Hall of Fame.

“It is an honor to be able to take part in this event and help out the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America,” said Katie. “I am so glad I am able to help raise awareness for Alzheimer’s disease, which is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States.”

Last month Katie released her fourth single “Gone” from her critically acclaimed second album Believe to radio and it is currently climbing the charts. Katie recently started working on her third album on Cold River Records, set for release next year. She has been working with several well-known Nashville songwriters and will have a hand in writing every track on the new album.
