Originally formed as an acoustic duo doing a variety of Outlaw Country and Southern Rock and classic pop, Katfish expanded to a 4-piece band and has become a popular attraction throughout their native California as well as surrounding states like Nevada and Arizona. With the help of Stevie D of Buckcherry, the band has recently released a blues-drenched cover of the Gnarls Barkley hit “Crazy,” and drummer J.J. Garcia is here to talk about it!
In this interview, J.J. tells us about the formation of Katfish and the aspirations of the band moving forward. He also talks about working with Buckcherry guitarist Stevie Dacanay, and his involvement with Valley Of Fire Records.

Hello everyone! My name is Scott Itter, but some know me as Dr. Music. I am a music journalist and photographer out of the Chicagoland area, and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I grew up in the 70’s with two big brothers that showed me all kinds of rock and roll. As I grew older I ventured out into different genres like jazz, funk, folk, and whatever else I could wrap my ears around. As I read every liner note and every Circus and Hit Parader like they were the Old and New Testament, I came to realize that I just love sound and appreciate all the people that create it.
I later became a stay-at-home dad and started honing my writing and photography skills to keep my mind from turning into mashed peas. My kids are now adults, my mind is only slightly mushy, and I am thrilled to have the honor of presenting my work to you!
