Katie Martucci (USA) and Mark Mazengarb

If you like Norah Jones, Django Reinhardt, Swing or Old Time music - you'll love this show!

All the way from New York, don't miss Katie Martucci on her tour of New Zealand! Joined by renowned NZ guitarist Mark Mazengarb, this will be a night of world class swing, old time and gypsy jazz music.

"I'm really excited to be able to bring Katie out to New Zealand - I first saw her perform at a festival in the USA and was blown away by her voice and guitar playing!" says Mark Mazengarb, who is organising the tour.

Hailing from the rich musical history of the Catskill Mountains in New York State, Katie Martucci grew up singing and playing fiddle and guitar. The daughter of a jazz pianist, she began performing with her father at a young age. By the first grade, she was writing her own songs and playing for tips. Her musical journeys led her to the Ashokan Western and Swing Week Fiddle and Dance Camp, vocal lessons with Laurel Masse of Manhattan Transfer, a brief stint of collegiate acapella at Skidmore College and ultimately, to the New England Conservatory. While at NEC, Katie studied voice, fiddle and songwriting in the Contemporary Improvisation Department, and had the opportunity to study with Dominique Eade, Ran Blake, Hankus Netsky, Carla Kihlstedt, and Eden MacAdam-Somer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdGR5cMe8Vk
