About
With over 40 years' experience in music, and over 25 years as a pro entertainer, I strive to deliver an eclectic and multi-age mix of quality Jazz, Latin Jazz, Smooth Jazz, Soul, Funk, and Pop classics to both public venues and in private special events. My shows are very classy and elegant, but interactive, upbeat, positive, and fun as needed, and I enjoy offering premium performances on an eclectic variety of piano, clarinet, and/or vocals, suited to your requirements, including style, audience, and volume preferences, and of course, budget. I have played all kinds of events, from dance and holiday parties to serene and uplifting celebrations of life and typically can do so with little preparation time needed. If additional musicians are needed, we can discuss how best to round out the sound you are looking for, as I work with several outstanding Denver-area pro saxophonists, bassists, and guitarists. Note that I only book responsible, reliable, drug-free, professional, and highly-talented artists to ensure that your event goes off without a hitch. Looking forward to serving and entertaining you! Best always, Kathryn Shut /shoot/

Kathryn came to my rescue when I found out there was no piano at our venue. She brought her electronic keyboard! She was able to rehearse with our singer on FaceTime because he lives in Colorado Springs. Her performance was flawless, her suggestions valuable and the outcome was perfect Kathryn is caring, compassionate and totally invested in the successful outcome of my event. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Dearest Nancy, I was honored and privileged to meet you, your loving family, and partner in performance with Tom during this difficult time. Again, please accept my deepest, warmest, and sincerest condolences on Denny's passing. Thank you for the opportunity, the thoughtful 'Thank You' card and amazing lunch, and this incredible review, and call me on anytime for both music and friendship.
