John Ovrebo
Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Cow Bell, Viborslap
Being the Son of the our church organist and choir director, I was introduced to music at a very young age. I started playing sax in 1973 because I was a really bad flute player! Most of my experience has been in Big Band Jazz (Richard Clark Big Band 14 years, Riptide Big Band 10 years, along with several large church orchestras, collage and community bands.)
I've always had a passion for Blues and Soul music! Joining Soul Cats has allowed me to explore my Soul Side! But playing Cow Bell has been the ultimate musical experience!

She’s rocked the stage with the Soul Cats for nearly a decade, and she swears the best view is from behind the mic—seeing the crowd laughing, dancing, and forgetting their troubles for a while.
