Karon Kate: Las Vegas Based Entertainer Draws on Her Southern Roots to Stir up Some Spirited `Mississippi Stardust' on Her Highly Anticipated Debut Recording, Which Was Produced by the Legendary Jimmy ``Wiz'' Wisner

LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--Throughout her several decade long career, Karon Kate
(www.karonkate.com) has headlined showrooms everywhere from New York,
Chicago and Los Angeles to her adopted hometown of Las Vegas, where
she and legendary comedian Marty Allen earned rave reviews and
enthusiastic full houses this past year for their musical comedy act
at the Gold Coast Hotel & Casino.

Over the years, the versatile singer, songwriter, pianist and
comedienne has appeared on The Tonight Show and Regis & Kelly, opened
for Wayne Newton and continues to sail the world over as a star
performer on major cruise lines. But all bright lights, big city
glitz, glamour and acclaim aside, Karon is still a country girl at
heart.

She grew up on a farm near Ellisville, Mississippi before leaving
for Chicago at age 18 to pursue her singing career. Many years later,
Karon celebrates those roots--as well as her love for pop, rock and
the traditional country music that has always been part of her
life--on her highly anticipated debut album Mississippi Stardust.

Karon's live performances find the musical dynamo belting out
medleys of hits by The Beatles, and Four Seasons and mining fresh gold
from "Johnny B. Goode," and "Proud Mary." But she and her producer
Jimmy "Wiz" Wisner take a different approach on this exciting
collection, including a rendering of Van Morrison's "Have I Told You
Lately."

Karon co-wrote the sassy "Has A Cat" and the rocker "Hot, Hot
Ticket" and is the sole composer of the romantic "I'll Be There
(Wedding Vows)." The rest of the songs, from the country-flavored
ballad "All Of The Above" to the inspirational "A Dream In The Making"
and the energetic "Main Squeeze," were composed by Wisner, who first
met Karon in 2000.

Mississippi Stardust is the latest of the many brilliant
recordings that Wisner has worked on as a producer, arranger, composer
or artist. Working with everyone from Tony Bennett, Iggy Pop, Al
Kooper and Tommy James to Carly Simon, Robert Goulet and Barbra
Streisand, he has contributed to over 100 hit (including 25 gold and
12 platinum) records.
