Sharing this news/update from Desoto Tiger’s Testimony.

Desoto Tiger's Testimony, featuring Damon Fowler and Jason Ricci, is pleased to announce that Bruce Katz has joined the band, replacing Jonathon "Boogie" Long. The decision to part ways with Jonathon was purely due to musical differences, and the band wishes him great success with his new record. Bruce is a longtime friend of the band and a Blues Music Award winner. He has been nominated for the "Piano Player of the Year" multiple times, most recently in 2026.. He has appeared on over 80 albums and has toured with numerous legendary artists, including Ronnie Earl, Gregg Allman, John Hammond, and Delbert McClinton. The band is excited to welcome his extensive experience and talent to the group.
