Jason Reisdorf and Karli Reisdorf of Natural Satellite
Wisconsin-based duo Natural Satellite will perform music from their catchy, moody album Ultraviolet. Saxophonist/bassist Mike Lewis (Happy Apple) and violist/fiddle player Barbara Jean (Dusty Heart) will open the show with a duo set.
Cello and saxophone may seem like an unlikely pair for an indie jazz duo, but when you hear Natural Satellite, you’ll consider the two instruments to be meant for each other. Karli and Jason Reisdorf have been performing and captivating audiences with their unique sound for nearly a decade. The couple met in 2011 while attending the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point and have since built a family and a music career centered around love, exploration, and education. The WAMI-nominated duo layers finger-style cello with catchy melodies, harmonies, and improvised saxophone to create a sound comparable to groups such as Morphine and Portishead. On their latest album, Ultraviolet, Karli's songwriting, influenced by '90s grunge and alternative rock, intertwines seamlessly with Jason's saxophone prowess, channeling a John Coltrane vibe. In this moody and intimate collection, the cello-saxophone duo transcends genres, blending pop, indie, and jazz.
