Sundae and Mr. Goessl

Sundae + Mr. Goessl is a new collaboration between resident Seattle, WA musicians Jason Goessl and Kate Voss. The duo embodies a spirit reminiscent of 1930s pop; repackaging classics with nuanced stylistic detours, ultimately imparting a ‘fresh’ vintage patina to the songs. Voss’s sultry and honey imbued vocals mixed with Goessl’s impossibly layered guitar work comfortably ebbs and flows while transcending the definition of ‘pop’.

Whether it be Brazilian (Brazil Novo), country (Jessica Lynne and the Cousins), dub rock cross over (Trimtab), surf/western (The Pornadoes) or funk (The Bayous), he approaches the music with studied curiosity and stamps it with his indelible signature sound. Voss has steeped for over a decade in vocal and piano study and performance
