Mary Kaczorowski

Mary has trained under numerous vocal coaches, including Pittsburgh’s beloved Maureen Budway. After singing with numerous performance groups, she partnered up with Cal and and a musical match in heaven was born.

Cal Robol
-----------------------------
As a jazz guitar student at Duquesne University, Cal learned and developed his skills on the guitar and a life long love of the jazz style where guitar is an inseparable part. Cal is a former music educator, and in his younger years, he was very active in the Pittsburgh music scene. After a 10 year hiatus from performing, Cal teamed up with Mary and returned to his love of performing live and has found the perfect voice to accompany his style on songs that include jazz, acoustic, and rock.

We require 120V electrical power for our equipment, a performance area that is free of moisture if indoors, and covered from weather if outdoors. Our space requirements are minimal, a 10 ft square area is more than sufficient, and we can also accommodate smaller spaces if needed.
