Since then the bittersweet voice of singer Katrina Morse has threaded through smokey blues, alt-country, and southern flavored folk. A Seattle, WA native, Morse brings impressive range and dedication to language and melody along with the Pacific northwestern passion for independent folk. Guitarist Mark Gannon plays solid rhythms and the down-home soulful leads he's known for as a member of R&B band Last Call, and a wailing blues harp thrown in for good measure. Bass player Jeff Lindberg came aboard in 2010 following some time as a noise drummer in Eugene, OR. JP's own Katrina, Mark & Friends capture a vintage blend of southern, soul, and passionate folk, half electric and half acoustic.
