A long time ago, two girls sat around listening to their 45’s and dreaming about the fabulous lives being lived by Andy Kim, Nicolette Larson, Gilbert O'Sullivan and Randy VanWarmer. Little did they know that not too far away a man and his dog were wondering who would be the Dawn to his Tony? The answer: The Kaytelles. Making every day summer vacation……

Karen is a theater-trained singer that has left a trail of musical projects throughout the tri-state area (and the Far East).  She began her life in pop music with her sister’s classical guitar and the sheet music to Born to Run.  She joined her first band in college; in the 90’s she appeared on Ichiro Akamatsu’s new age cd The Star You Are and on the independently released tribute album DEVOted.  She usually can be found listening to 45’s in the rec room.

The music played by The Kaytelles takes Hallie back to the seatbelt-less days of the family wagon.  She has appeared in the peerless Mrs. Lyles’ chorus at Anning S. Prall Junior High School, but more recently performed with various wedding bands and jazz ensembles.  She is still sorry for breaking up with Shaun Cassidy in order to date Andy Gibb.

Joe’s been playing in original and cover bands since before he was legally allowed in the bars and clubs he appeared at – having to sneak in kind of like George Harrison, but not nearly as rich or famous. After playing every instrument associated with rock bands, he started singing lead when one of his bands recorded a demo and they realized the original singer couldn’t, well, sing.
