While getting a degree in music from Rutgers University, Kate Evans studied improvisation and composition with jazz greats Kenny Barron, Ted Dunbar, and JoAnne Brackeen. At the same time, she was cutting her teeth in the pop music scene as singer and flutist in the world music big band All Gods' Children, which she toured with for six years. Kate also performed and recorded with a wide variety of groups ranging from the Benny Carter Big Band (on the Grammy Award–winning “Harlem Renaissance”)
Featured on the Parents Who Rock CD, "Go Play Outside," The Bloomingfields are fronted by Montclair couple, Janet Donofrio and David Rieth, who first started a band in the East Village back in the 80s with bassist/songwriter Brendan Mee. Today The Bloomingfields are headquartered in the couple's Bloomfield Avenue basement where they work up original songs like "You're Bad for Me" and "Little Kung Fu Shop" with Brendan Mee on bass, guitarist/songwriter Andy Day on lead and John Packel rocking the drum kit.
