KO SOLO is Kate Olson’s atmospheric live looping project. 100% improvised and meant to transport listeners to similar realities in alternate timelines, Kate incorporates multiple instruments and effects to create orchestral soundscapes that range from avant garde and minimalist to funky and predictable. This time, a very special guest (me!) is invited to join Kate on stage, making this a truly knockout duo performance. 

KO Quartet is Kate’s original jazz-ish project: A chord-less quartet featuring soprano sax/trombone and tenor sax/trumpet blends mixed with electric bass and drum kit. They will be playing selections from Kate’s new album “So It Goes”, which was funded by a grant from 4Culture and will be released on Origin Records in January 2026. 

There will also be spoken texts by poet Omar Willey.
