The current lineup combines Kallick’s distinctive voice, guitar and songwriting skills of Grammy-winner with the musical prowess of Annie Staninec on fiddle, Greg Booth on dobro and banjo, Tom Bekeny on mandolin and acoustic bassist Cary Black. Each sings with crisp, clear tones and piercing harmonies, concert organizers said.
Bluegrass Unlimited magazine called Kallick “one of the greatest bluegrass vocalists of her generation or any other.” According to Sing Out! magazine, she is “one of the best songwriters in in bluegrass and acoustic music.”
The Kathy Kallick Band’s most recent album “The Lonesome Chronicles” is a collection of themed original compositions and classic songs that “mine a deep bluegrass vein,” according to the Pasadena Folk Music Society, which is presenting the concert.
