Testimonials:
“Sundae + Mr. Goessl allured our audiences with Sundae’s charming and delightful voice and Mr. Goessl’s superb guitar skills! It’s hard not to love the melodica when played by such a witty and adorable gal as Kate. This duo’s music is classy and sassy!” - Jill Hill, President NAN (Northeastern Arts Network)

"Sundae is a cross between the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Christina Aguilara!" Fan, Minneapolis, MN

“Hard working award winners that have charm dripping off them...This is certainly an act you want to see live if they come your way.” -- Chris Spector, Midwest Record

“One of my fortunate “discoveries” of navigating the pandemic was being introduced to Sundae and Mr. Goessl. I have presented them to a livestream audience, to a hybrid audience, and soon, to a full capacity audience. Kate and Jason are professionals in every sense and were able to adjust to anything I threw at them- including taking what was to have been a live show, and asking them to perform onstage, to an empty house and Livestream audience! It’s immediately apparent that Kate is a superb vocalist and that Jason is a virtuoso guitarist. But the sum total is so much more. Their chemistry onstage is charming and enjoyable and hearkens back to the great couples entertainers like Cash and Carter and Steve and Eydie. They are more than musicians—they’re entertainers, who capture the audience from the first moment and hold them. A performance is full of not only applause, but smiles and laughter. I’ve asked them to host our holiday show this season (live and livestream), for that very reason. The performance is fun. And we can all use some fun.”
-- Joe Ferlo, Director at The Grand Oshkosh

"Sundae + Mr. Goessl make music that make my day" Dick Stein, Radio Host KNKX 88.5FM

“The Musical Talents of Sundae & Mr. Goessl are in one simple term, ''Amazing ``! I have had them perform here at the Marion Ross Performing Arts Center at least three times in the past few years. They are a perfectly matched Duo playing "Real Music" in today's world of so called "Music" which in many cases, is far from the definition of the true art form of music. Their presentation and musical abilities are few and far between on most stages today. I absolutely love what they do and how they do it. If you are looking for standard tunes of the 30's/40's and more, done in a "Super Tasteful" way.....look no further, you have found it in Sundae & Mr. Goessl. Melodies & Riffs....to Die For!”
-- Neil Lang, Bldg. Mgr. Marion Ross Performing Arts Center

"Sundae + Mr. Goessl is more than a vintage duo, their authenticity and commitment to the genre rings true, and the genuineness shines through in their renditions of these classic gems. The duo takes you through delightfully fun romps, to late night after hours sounds. Like listening to Billie Holiday, you feel you are taking two friends along with you on your day – [they have] that instantaneous likeability."
-- H. Allen Williams, JazzTimes
