Kathy Kallick is at it again, writing new songs, releasing new albums, and cooking up a bluegrass storm on stage. Singout! Magazine calls her "one of the best songwriters in bluegrass and acoustic music, always coming up with interesting, sometimes playful, always sure-handed songs" and praises her band as "a wonderful combination of youth and experience." Tom Bekeny sings and plays mandolin and fiddle, Greg Booth sings and plays dobro and banjo, Cary Black sings and plays bass, Annie Staninec sings and plays fiddle and clawhammer banjo, and together with Kathy on guitar and vocals, the band sizzles and swings on compelling originals and bluegrass classics based in the Bill Monroe tradition.

Kathy has been leading bands ever since she co-founded the groundbreaking bluegrass quintet the Good Ol' Persons in 1975. She's won a Grammy and two awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association, and recorded 20 albums, including her latest, Foxhounds, a collection of new songs that tell poignant and powerful stories. Bluegrass Now calls her an "exquisite storyteller" and a "profound songwriter," and says that "her singing has always been earthy and passionate." For an evening of wonderful new music rooted deep in American tradition, catch the Kathy Kallick Band at the Freight!
