Meeting Katie Somers of Simply Sounds

Musicians Rod Guico and Katie Somers make up Simply Sound. They are a versatile act, capable of entertaining live crowds at festivals, shows, restaurants, weddings and more.

Simply Sound performs a variety of songs, including hits from today and the past few decades. They play everything from soulful ballads to upbeat dance tunes. I love their harmonies, but their unique mash-ups are fun, too. They have a lot of fun on stage and make it enjoyable for the audience.

I had the pleasure of hearing and meeting them in 2021, when they performed at Moretti's near me. Prior to their performance, I met Katie. As I usually do, I got there so early, Rod wasn't even there yet. Poor Katie, she had to deal with me solo for a few minutes before Rod appeared. I chatted to both briefly and took pictures, before letting them get prepared for their performance. 

It was my first time seeing them and I really enjoyed them. I haven't seen them since, but I follow them and hope to see them soon.

Meeting Simply Sound

I have wanted to see Simply Sound perform live for a while. When I saw they were appearing at Moretti's near me, I finally did.

Simply Sound is comprised of Rod Guico and Katie Somers. They play a wide range of songs from today and the past decades, covering hits from Tom Petty, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga and more. I enjoy all of their covers, but especially love their harmonizing.

At Moretti's, I didn't submit a request, but I was happy when they performed Billy Joel's Piano Man. I don't like many covers of it, but I really enjoyed their version.

They were also super nice when I talked to them prior to the show. Simply Sound appears at many places around the area, seemingly doing a circuit. I am sure they will return to Moretti's and I will be there again.
