With a sound as unique as their name, Katie D and the Bluegills have quickly become a beloved fixture in the Louisville, Kentucky music scene. Their blend of whimsical charm and genre-defying jazz has earned them the affectionate monikers of Flea Market Jazz and Yard Sale Swing. At the heart of the band is the dynamic Katie Didit, a vocalist and bandleader who has long been celebrated for her musicianship and dedication to the local music community. Not only is Katie a sought-after performer, but she also plays a vital role as an ambassador for Louisville's vibrant scene, hosting one of the area's most well-loved open mics.Katie's distinct voice sets the tone for the band's genre-bending sound—a fusion of jazz, swing, blues, and whatever else feels right in the moment. Her band, The Bluegills, are a hand-picked collection of skilled players who each bring their own personality and flair to the stage. Michael Schrader, on keys, delivers sultry and playful riffs that set the mood, while Jake Reber's upright bass lines lay down the groove with subtle complexity. Shannon Vetter, the band's saxophonist, adds smooth, soulful melodies, while Mikey Miller on drums brings a driving beat that keeps things swinging.Together, Katie D and the Bluegills deliver a fresh take on classic styles, blending the old with the new in a way that feels like finding a hidden gem at a yard sale—unexpected, one-of-a-kind, and full of character. Whether they're playing a lively local venue or hosting an intimate jam session, this group is constantly pushing the boundaries of what jazz can be, all while staying deeply rooted in the community they love. Catch them live, and you'll soon understand why Katie D and the Bluegills are a Louisville musical treasure.

Jake Reber doesn't just play a comic book nerd on TV, he's got the hot takes on the West Coast Avengers to prove he's the real deal. They try to solve the New York Times Crossword Puzzle but they keep getting distracted talking about jazz music, professional wrestling, and how Lucas grounded his son for his views on Russian military tactics. Also Jake thinks "turkey" is a secret Taliban code word for bomb or something, we couldn't figure it out. If you live in Louisville come see Jake along with Lucas, Nathan, and other past guests at the 7th Annual Kent Carney Awards for Comedic Excellence live March 3rd at the Cure Lounge. Or if you live somewhere else, watch Jake play a fictional version of himself on Bagged and Bored.
