Deborah “Doc” Watson has been in the entertainment industry for over thirty years.  Early in her career, Deborah and her brother, Tom, were the opening act for many well known performers of the 60s.  As years went by Debbie had the opportunity to work both in front of and behind the microphone, eventually leading her to become the Managing Director of Sound Tracks Studios inside of Universal Studios in California.  Whether it was in front of or behind the microphone, Deborah used her considerable talents to make advertising jingles, music videos, and documentary films. 
 
Today, Deborah “Doc” Watson is a successful entrepreneur and businesswoman.  For many years she has been President of Inter-Act, Inc., a company that sells natural herbs and products associated with healing and good health. She operates Doc Watson's Health Stuff, a natural health store in Tempe and she hosts the ever popular radio talk show, Naturally Good for You, a local and nationally syndicated show. The show has been on the airways for well over ten years.  She has been included in the Who's Who in Business for her outstanding work in her chosen profession for the last five years.

Katie Gertz is a transplant to Arizona from Pennsylvania since 1985.  She has been involved in music most of her life, starting as a clarinet player at the tender age of 9.  Throughout her school years she participated in marching and concert bands being selected for Pennsylvania Regional and All-State Concert Band all four of her high school career. She also began vocal training at sixteen and sang with choral groups and several popular local bands. 
 
After 28 years of service, Katie was able to take an early retirement from AT&T  and start her own computer business, Kate’s Computer Clinic, now in its fourth year.  She repairs, upgrades and teaches classes about personal computers. 
 
In addition to singing with Sassy, Katie is currently working on a book about her favorite singer and dear friend, Doris Day.  Both A&E and the E! Entertainment networks, when doing a story about Doris Day, turned to Katie, as a Doris Day expert,  for archived material and rarely heard audio clips of the singer/actress. 
 
Her big love has always been singing and with Sassy Katie’s lifelong dream has come true - to be a professional singer!   
 
Katie lives in Mesa, Arizona with her husband, Gary, and their two Maltese dogs, KG and Sparky.
