A piercing falsetto reminiscing on a heart that has long been broken, comparable only to the legendary Patsy Cline echoes from a poorly lit room as Rebekka Paige reflects on her music career coming to a sudden end. A 7 year dream is slowly becoming a relic of the past. The summer's bright leaves slowly die in bursts of auburn and brown. The Rebekka Paige Band played their last show and left a shroud of uncertainty around the future of her musical career.

"As cliché as it may sound, music is my passion." stated Rebekka. "When I'm on the stage I get this rush of excitement, nervousness, and joy all at once. I think music is very powerful and has long been an outlet of mine. Music means a lot to me."

The members of the band unanimously decided to move on with other endeavours. All member's except Colby Latocha, Rebekka's brother and long time lead guitarist. His passion for music unequivocally matched hers. With playing comprised of blistering speed and unbridled rawness, it offset her vocals with unapologetic nerve.

"I never really had any other goals in life other than music. Most school days I had better things to do. Best advice I ever received was from a teacher telling me school wasn't for everyone. It was clear where I needed to be." recalled Colby.

With a renewed hope in a music career, a common goal and a new musical direction in mind, "Catalina" was born.

"Rebekka and I both agreed that the country music scene is abandoning its roots. We want to prove that traditional country music is still relevant, perhaps more so than ever." stated Colby.

With this re-imagining of their musical direction came an idea of a trilogy of albums.

"I am very heavily influenced by artists who write their own material. Not just one or two songs, but literally albums front to back. You would be hard pressed to find artists like that in this day and age. That's where the ideology of the trilogy came into play. I feel telling a story on such a large scale will be a challenging feat, as well as a very interesting way to showcase our work." said Colby.

With sights set high and nearly two decades of musical experience between this brother-sister duo, Catalina is ready to haunt country music with memories of its past.
