Bruce Katz performs at the Falcon in Marlboro
Organist Bruce Katz and his band mark the release of his new album, “Get Your Groove” with a concert at the Falcon, 1348 Route 9W, Marlboro, on Friday, Nov. 2, at 8 p.m.
The concert features Randy Ciarlante, formerly of The Band, on drums and vocals. This is the final area show before Katz’s Midwest U.S. Tour.
Katz is a Hammond B-3 organist/keyboardist and four-time Blues Music Award nominee. Katz’s music “occupies a unique space where blues, soul/ jazz, jam-band rock, and all aspects of Americana music collide into a style of original music all his own,” according to press materials. “As a performer, Bruce has been an in-demand sideman as well as leading his own band - playing and recording with many of the leading names in blues and roots music, appearing on over 70 albums with artists such as Ronnie Earl, John Hammond, Delbert McClinton, Gregg Allman, Duke Robillard, Joe Louis Walker, Little Milton, Maria Muldaur, Jimmy Witherspoon, Paul Rishell, Mighty Sam McClain, Debbie Davies, David “Fathead” Newman and many others.”
This December, Katz is scheduled to team up with former Gregg Allman collaborators and members of the late Allman Brothers Band cofounder’s extended circle of musicians for “Playin’ Up A Storm,” a special tribute to Allman, taking place at the iconic Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock. The tribute will also feature guitarist Eric Krasno, former Gregg Allman Band members Katz and saxophonist Jay Collins, Bill Sims Jr., Manuel Quintana, Chris Vitarello, Brandon Morrison and Moses Patrou.
Katz teaches piano, Hammond organ and theory privately at his studio in West Shokan. Katz has been based in Woodstock since 2005.
