Quotes:

“As a dance event organizer, I understand that a party can only be as good as the music. And trust me, Kate Voss & The Hot Sauce are just fantastic! They bring a joyful energy that keeps the entire room dancing. The number one question I get after they play is ‘When are they coming back?’” - MARK KIHARA, OWNER, SWING IT SEATTLE

“Voss’ voice is equal parts Billie Holiday and Teresa Brewer, light and silly when it needs to be and tinged with an old soul’s wry wit. She’s a charmer and casts an undeniable spell on you...”
— MARC PHILLIPS, THE VINYL ANACHRONIST
