JOHN & KASS PRESS RELEASE

John and Kass are a male/female vocal duo based in the Philadelphia suburbs. With guitar, keyboard, and recorded accompaniment and a broad, diverse repertoire, they produce a full sound that combines raw talent with musical polish. Their music is sure to bring an atmosphere of fun, spontaneity, and professionalism to any venue or event.

John's professional music career began as an original member of the contemporary Christian music band Glad. John recorded two albums with Glad -- singing lead vocal on their first single, "All Things" -- and appeared as a vocalist and guitarist on two albums by DC-based CCM singer/songwriter Scott Wesley Brown. At the same time, Kass was performing with the band Crosswind throughout the greater Philadelphia area.

John & Kass met when Crosswind opened for Glad at a Philadelphia area concert. For both, it was love at first listen, and soon the two began performing as a duo for private parties and civic organizations.

Post-Glad, John & Kass spent a year and a half in Nashville doing session work for such clients as Tree Publishing , The Music Mill and custom recording studios.

After returning to the Philadelphia area, John worked in regulatory affairs and database programming, while Kass taught voice and worked as a music director and recording session singer (Kass lent her vocal talents to several commercials and radio spots, including the Philadelphia 76ers, Merv Griffin's Resorts, Amoroso's Rolls, New Jersey Lottery, Thunder 102, and Friendly's Restaurants).

John & Kass have continued to perform for restaurants, private parties, weddings, civic organizations, and community events at such major northeast venues as the Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons, Franklin Institute, Union League, the Downtown Club, Trump Castle, Caesars, Resorts, Guest Quarters, Liberty Park, and the Camden Waterfront, where Kass sang in opening acts for James Taylor and Elton John.
