In today’s economy it can be difficult to find quality entertainment with a tight budget, but this weekend the intriguing sounds of jazz act the Katie Voss Trio will be playing a free, all ages show at Easy Street Records.

The trio includes Katie Voss's vocals accompanied by Jacob Lakatua on tenor and soprano sax and Jeff Siamas on bass. For the Easy Street show, the trio will also have special guest drummer Greg Fields.

Voss herself described the band’s songs as very traditional standards, but still with hints of their own personalities. The songs are very accessible to all listeners, particularly due largely to Voss's incredibly likeable sweet and smooth vocals. Their songs vary from thick and sultry to lively and cute.

Voss has studied under Greta Matassa while Lakatua has Seattle native jazz instrumentalist Jay Thomas. All three members say they are constantly listening to jazz and enjoy being part of that thriving music community.

The band has been together for a year and a half but just started playing live shows in November, including one at West Seattle's Shadowland restaurant and bar. Already, Voss says they have begun to attract loyal listeners.

"I never thought we would have fans besides our friends and family," says Voss. "Everyone just seems to enjoy it."

Because the show is all ages, Voss, who is a music teacher at Westside Music Academy, will be able to perform for her students for the first time this Friday.

"It would be great to have the kids come out," she says. "The music is not crude, it’s very kid-friendly."

The Katie Voss Trio will be performing an early show this Friday, March 6, 8 p.m., at Easy Street Records.
