THE TIPTONS SAXOPHONE QUARTET & DRUMS are an internationally renowned all-female saxophone quartet with drums, celebrating over 30 years as a band.

The Tiptons’ material ranges from micro-Big Band to Gospel, Bluegrass to Balkan, whimsical Chamber Jazz, and nocturnal Funk to Free Jazz Improvisation using saxophones, clarinet, their voices, drums, and inventive percussion to create a genre-busting ‘world soul’ sound.

SCOTT STRICKLAND will be presenting an acoustic/electric solo set at KALA. Relocating to Austin in 2013, forming the Scott Strickland Band and releasing two critically acclaimed EPs, both undoubtedly had comparisons to contemporaries Seal, or Dave Matthews - but trust that if you could sing this way, you would sing this way.

Supporting his tour is Austin singer-songwriter NATALIE PRICE. Texas Music Magazine describes her as “one of Austin’s most dynamic new signer-songwriters."
