John Reischman & the Jay Birds and Kathy Kallick at the Freight (Wednesday, February 25th, 2026 at 8pm)

John Reischman and Kathy Kallick have been making music together since 1978, when they first joined forces in the Good Ol’ Persons.

Their collaboration continues for this concert — which also includes a John Reischman & the Jaybirds set celebrating the release of their new album, The Salish Sea. This is the band’s 8th recording, the first that includes guitarist Patrick Sauber joining John (mandolin), Trisha Gagnon (bass), Nick Hornbuckle (banjo), and Greg Spatz (fiddle) as full time members.

Along with dobro master Mike Witcher, Kathy will join the band for a second set of selections from the 5 Good Ol’ Persons’ albums, as well as songs from some of her other 18 releases. John and Kathy have co-written many songs, and some of these are sure to be included.

John Reischman and Kathy Kallick are both Grammy Award winners, California Bluegrass Association Lifetime Member Award winners, and winners of International Bluegrass Music Association awards for Album Of the Year and Recorded Event Of the Year.

John Reischman & the Jaybirds "The Salish Sea" CD : 

This year, the Jaybirds are celebrating their 25th anniversary -- with only one personnel change. The Salish Sea is their first release with guitarist/vocalist Patrick Sauber as a full-time member, joining John (mandolin), Trisha Gagnon (bass), Nick Hornbuckle (banjo), and Greg Spatz (fiddle). The Salish Sea continues the band’s distinctive combination of bluegrass and old time, and includes the original tunes of John, Nick, and Greg, the original songs of Trisha, and covers of songs learned from Hazel & Alice, the Cooke Duet, Mark Graham, and others.
