Sisters: Karin Kajita and Nelda Swiggett
Karin and Nelda, Bainbridge Island natives, grew up in a household of five siblings where piano lessons were mandatory. Whereas the others didn’t like to practice, these two frequently fought for a seat at the family Steinway. Now they love to share the stage and are each other’s biggest fan. At this unique Royal Room event, each presents her own band in a program of largely her own compositions.
The Karin Kajita Trio is Karin Kajita- piano, Al Shabino- bass, and Jerry Garcia- drums. They will perform from 6:30-7:30pm.
Nelda Swigett’s Megabopolis is Nelda Swiggett – piano, Michael Van Bebber – trumpet, Travis Ranney – tenor saxophone, Clif Swiggett – trombone, Max Wood – drums, and Michael Glynn – bass. They will perform from 8-9pm
