Sue Orfield has been playing the saxophone for close to 40 years, with the last 10 or so right here in the Chippewa Valley. Her playing is informed by blues, joy, bluegrass, sadness, jazz, crazy, rock, and everything else she’s ever heard.

Catya’s Trio features singer-songwriter Catya on guitar, Sue Orfield on tenor saxophone, and Randy Sinz, on bass & vocals. They have been entertaining enthusiastic audiences since 2005. Their musical interactions are compelling–a chemical reaction; a delicious concoction. Whether it’s uptown or low down; red-hot or cool; silky smooth or edgy, their original music and interpretations of cover material transports the listener. At The Lakely, they will play original and traditional Jazz, Swing, and Blues.
