NEW SINGLE 'EASY' OUT NOW

'NEVER ALONE' WITH ELINA -  OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

Garrett is a platinum-award winning producer and engineer offering production, engineering & mixing services out of his Byron Bay studio.

Enquiries  [email protected]  

SINGER, SONGWRITER, AND PLATINUM-AWARD WINNING PRODUCER GARRETT KATO DELIVERS HIS MOST SONICALLY STRIKING STYLE OF INDIE-FOLK YET ON NEW ALBUM SMALL TOWN RITUALS.

SINCE THE RELEASE OF “TAKE IT SLOWLY,” SOPHOMORE ALBUM HEMISPHERES, AND 2021 EP KUMAMOTO, THE CANADA-BORN, AUSTRALIA-BASED ARTIST HAS AMASSED OVER 106 MILLION WORLDWIDE STREAMS AND PERFORMED SOLD-OUT SHOWS ALONGSIDE DAMIEN RICE AND ZIGGY ALBERTS. AUSTRALIAN TASTEMAKER TRIPLE J DUBBED HIM AS THE “PRODUCER AND MUSICIAN BEHIND SOME OF THE MOST PROMINENT SOUNDS COMING OUT OF BYRON BAY'S BOOMING BUSKERS SCENE,” AND RIGHTLY SO. GARRETT HAS WORKED WITH A STRING OF ICONIC AUSSIE ARTISTS INCLUDING JULIA STONE, ZIGGY ALBERTS, TONES AND I, RILEY PEARCE AND MORE.

SMALL TOWN RITUALS SEES GARRETT HARNESSING AN ORGANIC APPROACH TO THE WRITING PROCESS, ALLOWING HIS EMOTIONS TO COME TO THE FOREFRONT TO DELIVER HIS MOST VULNERABLE PIECE OF WORK TO DATE. THE 9 TRACKS EXPLORE VARIOUS SUBCONSCIOUS NARRATIVES THAT PROVIDED GARRETT “A CHANCE TO LOOK FORWARD AND BACK UPON MY LIFE AND GAIN NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THINGS.” THERE’S AN OVERARCHING THEME “OVERCOMING” THROUGHOUT, INSPIRED BY THE UNCERTAINTY SURROUNDING GARRETT’S LIFE AT THE TIME IT WAS RECORDED.

WRITTEN AND SELF-PRODUCED AT HIS HOME STUDIO, MOST OF THE ALBUM WAS MIXED ON HARDWARE, GIVING THE SONGS A MORE IMMEDIATE AND INTIMATE FEEL. “THE DISTINCT TONE OF A VINTAGE LA2A COMPRESSOR IS LITTERED THROUGHOUT THE RECORD, GIVING IT A REAL WARMTH AND DETAIL THAT I PREVIOUSLY DREAMED ABOUT.”

Valerie Kato confirmed as deputy director of the Hawaiʻi State Department of Health

The Hawaiʻi State Senate voted Monday to confirm Valerie Kato as deputy director of the Hawaiʻi State Department of Health. She joins Director Kenneth Fink.

“Val brings knowledge, leadership and energy to DOH, and we are very fortunate to have her on the team,” Dr. Fink said. “Her experience as the supervising deputy attorney general of the Health Division allowed her to engage regularly with DOH staff and leadership across many programs. Her understanding of the department’s operations along with her continuous improvement mindset make her a terrific addition for advancing the department’s mission.”

Kato said she is honored and humbled and thanked the governor and director for the opportunity to serve.

“I am very grateful for the opportunity to work alongside Director Fink and the hardworking staff at the Department of Health to serve the people of Hawaiʻi,” Kato said. “Having worked with DOH through numerous emergencies and challenges in recent years from responding to the COVID pandemic to the Maui wildfires disaster, I am eager to forge a more efficient and less silo-ed administration that moves forward together and supports each other.”

Before she began her career in public health as the supervising deputy attorney general, Health Division, and first deputy attorney general under Attorney General Holly Shikada, Kato was in private practice for 17 years and clerked for Judge Corinne K.A. Watanabe at the Hawaiʻi Intermediate Court of Appeals. Kato earned her juris doctorate from Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C., and earned her Bachelor’s of Arts degree in English from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.

As deputy director of health, Kato will head the DOH administrative offices, which oversee the Administrative Services Office, Health Information Systems Office, Human Resources Office, Office of Health Status Monitoring, Office of Planning, Policy and Program Development, Office of Affirmative Action and the District Health Offices.

Josh Kato’s 2016 Tour Divide Rig: A Cutthroat Gear List

Last year, Josh Kato hauled 48 pounds (21.8kg) worth of kit on his record breaking Tour Divide. This year, he dropped the total gear weight by 11 pounds (5kg). Will it help him break last year’s record? We’ll have to wait until Friday to follow along. Here’s Josh’s full kit, down to the sawed off toothbrush.

Words and photos by Josh Kato

As I prepare for the 2016 Tour Divide I recall my previous kits. My kit from 2015 has been out there for others to see. It’s a kit that works for racing the Divide… but ultra-light it isn’t. Not by bikepack ultra racing standards anyhow. Some might even consider it closer to a full dirt touring kit. I am a tourer at heart after all. In 2014 my kit was even heavier. I don’t have a full list of that gear online… it would require too much server space to be listed out fully. My 2015 kit was around 48 pounds with no food or water. In my ill fated 2014 Tour Divide attempt, my titanium Fargo was northward of 50 pounds sans water and food.

Regardless, both years I felt very strong. Did the heavy kits slow me down at all? That is a debatable subject. Piece of mind goes a long ways on the Divide. I do believe we all spend a whole lot of time and money trying to shave ounces here and there. We perseverate on every little decision—but that is part of the journey that is the Tour Divide. However, I can assure you that it is possible to do well in the Divide with a rather portly setup.

For 2016 I wanted to change things up. Not that my kit from 2015 didn’t work. It is the kit that I took to Antelope Wells and I was happy to have every piece with me. But I’m not getting any younger, my knees don’t ache any less, and my achilles aren’t getting any stronger. For 2016 I wanted light yet comfortable . I hoped to shave at least 5 pounds from last year.

Below is a quickly compiled list of my current kit. My bike and all gear weighs in right about 37 pounds without food or water (also excluding what I will wear consistently: jersey, shorts, shoes, riding socks, helmet and sunglasses). This time I have a fair amount of extra space to stuff items as needed. Namely donuts, gummy bears, pie and gargantuan cinnamon rolls.

Will this new, leaner kit make me faster? No way! A bike cannot ride itself. The rider must be ready and willing. Fitness, psychology, planning, weather and luck all play much larger rolls in finishing the Divide than the lightest, leanest most aero kit. I suppose we shall soon see if my body and mind are ready for the task. I’m still not out there to beat anyone or to prove anything. I’ll still be out there trying to go from point A to point B as fast as possible and still have fun. Perhaps I’m willing to travel lighter, maybe riskier, than previous years because I’ve finished this beast of a race. That was always the goal. To finish. Now I just get to try and go fast!

The New 2016 Salsa Cutthroat

The Salsa Cutthroat is a superb bikepack race rig. It is indeed a wholly different bike than the Fargo . Of course moving from the Fargo to the Cutty was a fluid transition as both are built around drop bars and an ever so familiar and comfy cockpit geometry. I liken my Fargo to a turbocharged diesel pick-up truck while the Cutty is a turbocharged rally car. Nimble, fast and fully capable. The VRS (Vibration Reduction System) seat stays on the Cutthroat tame rough roads quite nicely. Dare I say even better than my ti frame. The main triangle of my small Cutty frame also holds a bigger frame bag that would fit in a medium sized Fargo frame. More room! A great benefit for us shorter riders. However, the downtube bottle cage mount does not provide as much clearance. My Fargo will take a liter bottle whereas to fit a 24oz bottle on my Cutthroat I had to modify a bottle cage with additional mounting holes for the bottle to clear the front tire. Especially important when using a suspension fork.

The Lauf Trail Racer Suspension Fork

Last year I was pretty danged comfy with my drop bars outfitted with gel inserts under plush bar tape. However, my pinkies were numb 5 months post-Divide and I now occasionally get some arm numbness when the going gets rough.

Enter the Lauf Fork. I wanted some extra cush to the front. I’ve always felt traditional suspension forks aren’t well suited for gravel roads. They just don’t react to washboards very well. I had heard of Lauf forks and thought they might be perfect for the Divide. They were kind enough to provide me with a fork for this year’s Divide.

The Lauf Trail Racer has completely changed how I feel (and what I feel) about washboarded roads. The fork is super supple over Divide-like terrain. I don’t cringe at washboard. My arms don’t go numb on rough sections. My hands are happier and I notice significantly less fatigue in my upper body over the course of a day on rough roads. The Lauf fork complements the vibration reduction system of the Cutthroat frame superbly. Moreover, it’s not much heavier than the stock Cutthroat carbon fork and requires zero maintenance like a standard suspension fork.
