Karl Bertrand and Kevin Cottone

Two cropped images merged into one. On the left side is Kevin Cottone standing in a grassy field plucking the strings on his upright bass. On the right side is a profile of Karl Bertand taken from behind and to the left as he sits on a sandy beach strumming his acoustic guitar.

Karl Bertrand (acoustic guitar) and Kevin Cottone (upright bass) are local musicians from Saratoga Springs and Glens Falls respectively. They began performing together during the summer of 2023 after years of friendship, mostly performing at The Barrelhouse in Saratoga Springs. They share affinities for the bluegrass and jam traditions while performing a mixed bag of Karl’s original songs and beloved covers.
