Jeff Kathan
(September 2005 Issue)
All Right Now With Paul Rodgers Six-foot-four
powerhouse drummer Jeff Kathan and his two bandmates carefully step
into position on the dark
stage. The audience ignites, and the
announcer introduces one of rock's legendary singers: Paul Rodgers. All
night long
Kathan passionately kicks the band into solid grooves on
classics like "Burnin' Sky," "Feel Like Makin' Love," "All
Right Now,"
and other rock standards from the Rodgers songbook.
At forty-eight, Kathan is living his dream as a
player in a
national touring act. And he's doing it by backing the voice of Free,
Bad Company, and The Firm. How did
Kathan land the Rodgers gig? "I got
the first call. Somebody that knew Rodgers' manager, Chris Crawford,
saw me
playing blues - and of all places, in Winthrop, Washington!
"I'm proof that dreams can come true. I never give up,
and I
always strive to be the best I can be." It shows. Kathan is one drummer
who just can't get
enough.
