"Your stylings are clean and tight.
The vocal harmonies are incredible. You are the embodiment of the
Greek sound I have loved since I was quite young. I'm quite sure
that if you keep going at this pace, very soon the whole world will
equate the name Fotia with exceptional and authentic Greek music...
as I do now."

Fotia, a band based in the San Francisco
Bay Area, specializes in performing Greek Music of all styles. Fotia
has thrilled audiences at Greek Festivals throughout California,
in addition to performing at numerous Greek functions and private
affairs. The band is comprised of musicians Michael Kutulas, George
Psarras, Paul Psarras, Anthony Catchatoorian and singer, Olympia.
The instrumentation consists of the guitar, keyboards, percussion
and the national stringed instrument of Greece, the bouzouki. The
bouzouki can best be described as a lute-type instrument with a
round body and a long neck. It is strung with three or four courses
of double strings, much like a mandolin. In addition, Fotia also
features the tzoura and the baglama, which are two smaller versions
of the bouzouki.
Fotia embraces a number of different Greek musical styles in their
repertory. They play the traditional folk music from Greece's mainland
and islands. Fotia delivers authentic performances of Rembetika
... and Fotia also plays a good selection of modern, popular Greek
music, known as Laika.
