Grex Music2 Conference

Item 7: Katie in Concert

Entered by krj on Sat Nov 16 03:42:18 1996:

Katie Geddes and her band of friends sang a fine concert tonight
at the Green Wood Methodist Church.  Katie's songs drew mostly 
on singer-songwriters from the 1970's to today; it was fun to 
hear old classics like "Suzanne" which I haven't heard for ages.

Quite a few Grex and M-net people were in the crowd of about 100.
15 responses total.

Katie has an incredibly versatile voice.  She can sing a
soft ballad with delicate tenderness then turn right around
and deliver a powerful standard with a sensual huskiness
and then switch again to a smooth liquid-voiced piece of
jazz.  All in the same set.  Amazing.  I enjoyed the concert
a whole lot.  

Mark (aruba) gave Katie roses as she took her bows.  It was a 
wonderful final touch.

Grexers (and m-netters) in attendance, who I spotted:
katie of course, and marae singing harmony in the band;
chelsea, remmers, aruba, keats, krj, arabella, and chelsea's
sister Pat Ballard, whose Picospan days didn't overlap with mine,so 
I don't know her login.

It was "ballard", amazingly enough. Her husband Richard, also
in attendance, used to M-Net -- his login was "teach".

Immensely enjoyable concert. Wonderful singing by Katie, and a
fine backup band as well.

I'm sorry I missed it, but the timing was bad.  While most of y'all were
sitting in one audience hearing Katie sing, I was sitting in a different
audience hearing Janice sing.

Tell us about the backup band.

#11 of 15 by katie on Sat Nov 23 02:12:53 1996:

Mark Brokaw on guitar, MIke Fedel on guitar/bass/background vocals,
Joe Spaly on drums, Tom Wachterhauser on keyboards/egg, Marae Price
on guitar and backup vocals, and Jen Hughes on percussion. Jen is a
fiddler, but broke her arm before the concert.

Yeah, I was bummed about Jen's arm; I would have loved to have heard
the show with the fiddle.

I noticed that remmers' head kept bouncing -- with enthusiasm? -- 
on the two songs which were written by Gillian Welch, so I'll 
mention that Ms. Welch has a show coming up at the Ark on December 3.
I'd be happy to loan you her CD if you're interested, John.

#13 of 15 by remmers on Sat Nov 23 13:41:08 1996:

Which songs were those?

#14 of 15 by krj on Sat Nov 23 17:18:59 1996:

"Orphan Girl" was one, and I need to scratch my head a bit to 
remember the title of the second.

#15 of 15 by katie on Tue Dec 3 04:11:21 1996:

"Annabelle."  I'll be at the Ark tomorrow night for Gillian Welch.
