Kathryn’s blue dirt girl released and toured Crazy Beautiful in August 2016.
Kathryn produces Chautauqua’s which bring together fiercely talented but often quiet artists to share their music and art in public spaces. An element of giving back to community,either with fundraising or awareness raising, is part of each blue dirt girl event.

Job Position
Albert Klassen is a Vancouver bass player, mandolin player and mandolin builder. He’s been playing electric bass with Kathryn in Push3 since 2003, but for blue dirt girl he dusted off the stand-up bass, which hadn’t seen action since he played with Natural Elements, Nyetz, and Balzac in the 1980s. He plays mandolin with Nohearums and Illiteratty, and he will be the first to tell you that carrying a mandolin is easier than carrying a stand-up bass. You won’t find him on Facebook, unless it’s a picture of him on someone else’s page.

Job Position
To sum up Jason Overy as a formally trained percussionist is to give him short shrift. He grew up in Victoria playing with the Greater Victoria Youth Orchestra. He’s played with jazz, blues, rock, punk, and ska bands. He’s been the musical director for Uzume Taiko for over ten years. He’s a percussion section leader for the band of the Fifteenth Field Regiment RCA. He’s collaborated with contemporary dance and theatre groups. He’s even collaborated with DOA frontman, Joey Shithead. And on top of all of that, he found time to get a third-degree black belt in Shotokan Karate-do and a first-degree black belt in Kokodo Jujutsu. So don’t be giving him short shrift!
