Chanteuse
Bluegrass US née le 19 Septembre 1952 à Chicago (Illinois).
An
eclectic mixture of roots music has been incorporated into the music of Oakland,
CA-based vocalist/acoustic guitarist Kathy Kallick. As a founding member (and
still active after two decades) of gender-bending string band the Good Ol'
Persons, a duo partner of Laurie Lewis,
and the leader of her own group, the Little Big Band, Kallick has performed
everything from traditional folk music and gospel to bluegrass and country
music. Kallick's second solo album, Call Me a Taxi, marked her first
attempt at producing an all-bluegrass recording and was a reaction to her debut
album, Matters of the Heart, which included drums, piano, and steel
drums. Kallick revealed a different side of her persona with two children's
music albums: What Do You Dream About, released in 1990 and reissued in
1997, and Use Your Napkin (Not Your Mom) in 1995.
A native of Chicago, Kallick grew up in the suburbs of Evanston, IL. Her love of
music was inherited from her parents. Her father plays classical guitar and
recorder, while her mother is a classical pianist who played folk guitar and
dulcimer and was involved with the folk music scene in Chicago in the late '50s
and early '60s. Although she spent her high school years rebelling against her
parents' preferred music and became a self-professed Beatlemaniac, she found her
way back to her musical roots at the age of 18 when she acquired a Martin D-28
acoustic guitar and began playing traditional music. Attending Kansas City Art
Institute for a year, Kallick met a guitar-playing friend in 1970 who convinced
her to switch to a steel-string guitar.
Kallick sharpened her skills by performing original songs in folk music
coffeehouses in Chicago. She occasionally performed with her mother, singing
harmony on traditional songs. After leaving Chicago, Kallick spent a year in
Iowa, accompanying bluegrass fiddlers at local fiddle contests. Kallick moved to
northern California's Bay Area in 1973. Although the folk music circuit was
mostly inactive, the area had a burgeoning bluegrass scene.
The five women in the original Good Ol' Persons initially came together at
parties and music events. Kallick's involvement was sparked when she and Barbara
Mendelsohn, who was in the original group, went to a folk festival together and
rode home in the back seat of a car, singing songs. Meeting regularly once a
week, the Good Ol' Persons started to take their music more seriously.
Performing their first shows in February 1975, they started attracting attention
to their unique form of roots music. Although they've gone through several
personnel changes, the group celebrated their 20th anniversary with a concert in
November 1995 that was released as the live album, Good N' Live.
Throughout the 1970s, Kallick remained active as a bluegrass musician in
northern California. In addition to working with the Good Ol' Persons, she
performed and recorded with mandolinist Frank Wakefield and produced albums for
High Lonesome. Kallick reunited with original Good Ol' Persons member
Laurie Lewis for a duo album,
Together, in 1991.
In addition to remaining active with the latest lineup of the Good Ol' Persons,
Kallick has been touring with her own group, the Little Big Band, featuring John
Reischman (mandolin), Todd Phillips (bass), and Keith Little (second lead Vocals,
banjo, guitar, fiddle).
