When her jazz studies were nearing an end, her musicalinterests could not be pinned down to a single genre, her teacher assigned her the title of”dilettante”. Luckily for us all, that only inspired Kate to further explore other avenues formaking music and ultimately brought her to form Kate Voss & The Hot Sauce whichencompasses all the genres she loves. A true variety band, this act pulls from her variedbackground of jazz, blues, pop, country, western-swing, oldies, americana and rockabilly. Asa full-time musician, Voss has cultivated a stage presence that charms and delights folks anda voice that “Nails the authenticity of the era” with tunes from Brenda Lee to Nancy Sinatraand Patsy Cline to Ray Charles.
