Joining Kate to make up this trio will be classically trained genevan guitarist Alex Scheuerer. Undeniably influenced by jazz-latin-fusion guitarist Pat Metheny Alex's playing style will stun you with incredible tone, control and effortless creativity. To complete the trio will be Dom Clark on Trumpet and you will find it almost impossible not to be bewitched by Dom's soulful trumpet solos.

And this is what they have been saying about them!

One of the most entertaining and engaging shows I have ever experienced ... Kate’s phenomenal charisma and encouragement of audience interaction created an electric atmosphere ... an exceptionally talented performer; the audience singing along, dancing and rewarding every song with rapturous appreciation ... such a superb talent ... She is certainly one to watch and an artist we hope to work with again in the near future." - ARTHOUSE MUSIC
