About
A fan favorite in Denver across the front range for 20 years with a Thumbtack five star rating, Kathryn Ballard Shut /shoot/ and her jazz group, The Law and Order Combo, strive to deliver an eclectic and fun mix of quality Jazz, Latin, Smooth Jazz, Soul, Funk, and Pop classics to both public venues and private special events. Our shows are very classy and elegant, but interactive, upbeat, positive, and perhaps most importantly, affordable! We enjoy offering premium performances on a variety of piano, clarinet, and/or vocals, suited to your requirements, with a keen focus on style, audience, volume preferences, mood, and budget. Our groups have played all kinds of events, including dance and holiday parties, religious gatherings, corporate conferences, fundraising events, and serene & uplifting celebrations of life, typically with little preparation or rehearsal time needed. We also have experience in working remotely with other artists to build quality shows in a time crunch. If additional musicians are needed, we can discuss how best to round out the sound you are looking for, as agency TIMKAT works with several outstanding Denver-area pro saxophonists, bassists, drummers, and guitarists. Note that we 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 thank you for your consideration! 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.

Hired Law & Order trio for a business conference and it was FABULOUS! They were easy and wonderful to work with and added a very classy, upscale element to our event. Such a treat for our guests. Would recommend!

Dear Naomi and the Denver Institute for Faith and Work: On behalf of Jon, Mark, and myself in the Law and Order Combo, we were delighted to spend an amazing and snowy day by providing warm and toasty coffee and AM break-time jazz for the 10th Annual 'Business for the Common Good' Conference. We were thrilled at the turnout, warm reception, and solid partnership forged with DIFW and look forward to working with you again on another elegant event very soon. Best wishes for continued success and outreach.
