kat & the traveler/s
hey-thanks for visiting kat & the traveler/s!

 Est. 2005. Ecstatically delivered tunes with a heaping serving of soulful vocals!
Jazz, Blues & Swing...sometimes a little country, folk, rock and other good stuff...
And of course...any little song we adore about life's longing, losing, leaving, and, oh yes...love!

*you're listening to kat & the traveler/s. All songs currently playing were recorded "live" at
open rehearsal sessions with the full band as well as "live" on NPR 90.7 WMRA's Blues Valley Radio Show.
