Mark Schirmacher and Katy Tessman have a lot in common -- both are talented singer-songwriters, accomplished authors, cancer survivors, and they attended high school together in the 80s. Tonight, these storytellers will guide you on a diverse musical and emotional terrain. No doubt this event will feel a bit like a homecoming and a celebration of life. Mark will perform an opening set, then Katy and her band will then play a long set with her new band that includes her son, Sweet Lou on lead guitar, Thomas Leier on bass, and Aaron Gilles on percussion.

The show is broadcast across the BOB-FM Radio Network (105.5 in Central MN, 106.1 in the Twin Cities (North), & 107.5 in the South Metro & Southern MN) and streamed live at mybobcountry.com. There is also a podcast version of the show, usually uploaded later that night, under the “weekends” tab.

After a 20-year pause from the stage, Katy made her re-debut with a ticketed event at Ginkgo Coffeehouse in St Paul on January 8. During the height of the omicron variant of the Covid-19 pandemic, Katy filled the house with friends and fans alike. David Harland performed an opening set of beautiful fingerstyle guitar and Katy & David performed a duet. Katy was joined on stage by her 19-year-old son on electric guitar, Sweet Lou, and her Joe's Elevator band-mate, Tom Leier on bass and backing vocals.

Katy was joined on stage by her 19-year-old son on electric guitar, Sweet Lou. This was his 2021 performance debut and he killed it!
