We have lots of dates booked for the summer of '08. We already have been around, speading the summer vibe.

There are also new projects in the works so stand by for a bigger and better band.

I'll be back and post new dates shortly.
Hay Hay Hay!!!!

Summer is here. Sit back and chill while I get the site in order.

The ball that dropped in Times Square may have read 2008, but it's still the 70s here in Kaytelles-land.

We're gearing up for a new year and new tunes in the act. Here are a few starting dates to keep in mind while you're getting your shag trimmed. (Although we'd like to give you the details over my huge carphone, I guess you can just click the links below.)

February 1: Lacey's Bridge Tavern at 8PM. Bring an appetite!
Besides our Kaytelles shows there, don't forget that Karen plays there solo every Sunday from 12-3 during brunch.)
February 25: We'll be adding a few 70s gems to Joe's acoustic act at Jimmy Steiney's at 5 Hyatt St, St. George.
Stay tuned for more info: in the mean time, keep on keepin' on.

2007-07-25T18:52:00.000-04:00

It's been a long time since I updated this page- but we're happy to say it's because we've been busy this summer!
We have been playing all over New Jersey- and still we appear once a month at our home, Lacey's Bridge Tavern in Staten Island.
This Thursday, July 26th, The Kaytelles groove-ify the Valeno Grill. It's a great outdoor dining patio and terrific bar.
We played at Orphan Annie's recently and loved it. Thanks to the good words of the patrons, we'll be there again soon. It's a great place with a cool blues vibe. You can check out Nasty Ned's American Roots Live for more about the music scene there.
Every week we add more songs to the repertoire; so come out one of these nights and...well, sing One of These Nights.
