June 2009I'm hastily updating this website from my hotel room in Paris this month...but more on that later. Last month I played the Sacramento Jazz Festival with the Reynolds Brothers. We had a great time and the band was very well received. We played a tribute set to the Washboard Rhythm Kings and we were also included in the Grand Finale at the end of the festival. One of my favorite sets was the "Banjo Buddies" set on the riverboat where John Reynolds and I worked as a banjo duo. Only this time we were joined by Clint Baker on tenor banjo, and Paul Mehling on 6 string banjo. In addition to the 4 banjos, we had Ralf on washboard and Marc Caparone on string bass as well as another friend of the brothers named Paul joining us on violin. It was insanely fun. I always look forward to playing with the Reynolds Brothers and the band just seems to get better and better! |

| Last month Fred Harshbarger came by Curley's Cafe with several cameras and a small crew. He made a very nice video of CJ and me performing and I think it really captures the feel of the place and our regular Wednesday night gig there. You can view the video on my CJ and Katie page, and also see other videos he's done at his website: www.wxyzvideos.com. |

As I mentioned, I'm updating this from Paris. I've been here two days and I'm still pretty jet lagged. We have one more day rehearsing here and then we fly to Vienna where we'll do the show in German! It'll be interesting to see how the audiences receive the show on this tour. If you'd like to read about my previous adventures with "Josephine" click on the photo to the left. And if you'd like to get on my travel email list, drop me a line at: kcavera@sbcglobal.net Thanks for dropping by! - Katie |
