Categories: Musical Travels, performances, Kat's adventures.

I will be playing concerts in the Lake Lure, Asheville, and Black Mountain areas. Will post the details and dates soooon! Some events will be solo flute concert and talk (see description), plus, at other events, I will be playing with the band, “Trade Routes” (see description)

Join us for a “magic carpet ride around the world” with Kat Epple, on some of the exotic flutes she has collected from her extensive global travels. This Grammy-nominated, Emmy and Peabody Award-winning flutist and composer, will present an informal concert and conversation about the magic of the flute, how music influences us, and her musical adventures. Kat will play music from her 26 internationally-released music albums, and some of her music for television shows such as “Nova”, “National Geographic” and “Guiding Light”.
“This is definitely not a flute recital! It is fun, interesting, informative, and sometimes hilarious!”

Trade Routes is a progressive world fusion quartet whose repertoire ranges from jazz / blues and reggae to classical and world music with a dose of progressive rock blended in. The group was formed by two uniquely talented brothers, Nathan and Brandon Dyke, who inherited a deep love of music from their father, himself a prolific singer/songwriter and instrumentalist.
After years of pursuing their own musical journeys, Nathan (on drums, percussion, guitar, vocals and numerous indigenous instruments such as the Australian didgeridoo, African thumb piano, Native American flutes and Indian tabla, to name but a few) and Brandon (on guitars, loops, effects and vocals) have joined forces as their paths have once again converged. The two extraordinary players bring their own eclectic array of styles… along with a powerful bassist, Robert Nance and a superb keyboardist, Matt Foglia… into the mix that is… Trade Routes.
