Katie Kern Blues Band
With her new blues band – a classic Chicago Blues line-up – Katie returns to her roots. At the crossroads between Hoodoo, Kansas City and Chicago Blues, the magic of a proud, timeless culture, a half-forgotten, more elegant time beckons. Didi, Georg, Pauli, Helmut and Katie share a great joy in interpreting these classical styles and an intuitive ability to transform an intangible melancholy into swinging music for the heart and soul.
Formation: Didi Mattersberger (Drums), Georg Weghofer (Bass), Paul Reschenhofer (Guitar), Helmut Neuber (Blues Harmonica), Katie Kern (Vocals/Guitar).

Katie Kern Solo
Guitar and voice, plugged & unplugged. Katie entertains in a variety of styles and genres. From folky fingerpicking to country blues, from jazzy instrumentals to ballads, standards and popular songs from the 60s and 70s - combining her repertoire with songs of her own to conjure a varied evening of exquisite ear-candy.
Katie und die Ergonauten
Longing, irony, saudade, and dark humor – make up the emotional spectrum of songwriter Katie Kern, who performs english and german songs of her own making in this formation since 2019. Rogue Blues are Katie Kern, Claudia K (Vocals, Bass),
Paul Reschenhofer (Git.) and Daniel Klemmer (Perc.). While influenced by the Folk- and Hippie-movement of the 60s and 70s, Americana and timeless Blues, Katie's originals reflect her own musical story, and – at the same time – paying tribute to her personal role-models: Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Steve Earl, Jerry Reed, Tom Waits,
Eric Clapton, Albert Collins and Jimi Hendrix.
