About Me

I'm a full-time professional musician-- singer/songwriter, electric rock violin, keyboards, sax, some guitar and drums... I've got my own project, self-titled (http://katerusso.com) with a limited ed. CD "Home Cookin-Delicious Demos" and a new album about to be mixed "Looking For Ringo" with special guest and friend Prairie Prince (of the Tubes) on killer drums... Also had a band called The Elliots with my partner in crime Blake Thompson. Blake and I play w/a full band or as an electric/acoustic duo. I've also got a cool site right here on myspace-- check out myspace.com/katerussoband*************** Goals would include lots more touring and recording... We've been touring all over since July, so any new friends and fans are appreciated!!! Check out katerusso.com for all dates+info.**************** I've also been touring with Janis Joplin's original band Big Brother & The Holding Co., playing lead electric rock violin instead of their usual psychadelic blues rock gtr, and just returned from a tour in Thailand.... I've played all over with them, so you never know if you might find some old-time rock-n-roll right in your neighborhood!!***************** Besides music: Is there anything else, really?!?! Yeah, I guess... Digs: Great rock and powerful music, killer diller, nice people, learning stuff, chillin out or workin hard, helping someone, making someone smile, finishing something for a change, backscratches, cool clothes + comfortable shoes that LOOK cool too!, great ice cream, righteous fettucine alfredo... guess I could go on and on!****************** Dislikes: People w/attitudes+chips on their shoulders, traffic, waking up early when I'm still tired, liver+onions, beets (I'll eat em cos they're good for you...) and fettucine alfredo that's a big letdown... Should I stop here?Myspace Backgrounds
