A performance of bluegrass music led by Grammy-winning artist Kathy Kallick was scheduled in Pasadena on Saturday but has been cancelled due to the bandleader’s COVID diagnosis.
The cost of tickets purchased in advance of the concert will be refunded, a spokesman for the Pasadena Folk Music Society said Friday.
The Kathy Kallick Band combines the distinctive voice, guitar and songwriting skills of Kallick along with musicians Annie Staninec on fiddle, Greg Booth on dobro and banjo, Tom Bekeny on mandolin and acoustic bassist Cary Black, according to event organizers. All sing with clear voices and piercing harmonies.
Since co-founding the Good Ol’ Persons in 1975, Kallick and her music groups have released 21 albums featuring over 150 of Kallick’s original compositions and arrangements.
“She’s one of the greatest bluegrass vocalists of her generation or any other,” Bluegrass Unlimited magazine wrote of Kallick, who won a Grammy and two International Bluegrass Music Awards for her album “True Life Blues: The Songs of Bill Monroe.”
The Kathy Kallick Band’s latest album “The Lonesome Chronicles” features themed originals as well as classics “to mine a deep bluegrass vein,” concert organizers said.
The concert was scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Knox Presbyterian Church, 225 S. Hill Ave. and was to be presented by the Pasadena Folk Music Society. Tickets were sold at the Caltech Ticket Office, 626-395-4652. For more information visit https://pasadenafolkmusicsociety.org.
