We look forward to seeing you at Unity Hall!

  Colleen Kattau and Some Guys
  8pm - Friday, April 20 2012

Unity Hall is very pleased to welcome Colleeen Kattau & Some Guys on Friday, April 20 at 8pm.  Colleen has impressed a lot of impressive people with her material and performances.  We will leave it to them to convey why her first visit to Barneveld is one that should not be missed.

Poignant and playful performer with a soaring voice and a socio-enviro bent, bi-lingual too!

"Joe Hill would be proud.  Great singer and organizer at the same time," Pete Seeger. “Ever since childhood Kattau has been imbued with a voice that haunts with its clarity and range”,  Syracuse New Times. Colleen Kattau  is a vocalist songwriter and dynamic performer, whose music is described as “power and beauty steeping in a fine tea.”  She’s performed on Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now, and recently appeared with Holly Near in performance with the Syracuse Community Choir. She plays with her band Colleen Kattau and Some Guys.

“Ever since childhood Kattau has been imbued with a voice that haunts with its clarity and range, and an eye that roams the globe in search of contradiction and hope. Her lyrics are playful, inventive, then suddenly academic, covering topics as quirky as vegetarians gratefully consuming roadkill and as serious as an environmentalist singing a love song to a planet betrayed. Her soprano seems to carry a hint of hope into even the darkest places, like the world of a disposable migrant worker or an abused housewife.”
