No, it’s not a new sitcom coming this fall (although maybe it should be?) — Katee joined composer Bear McCreary onstage in San Diego, CA at the House of Blues on July 23rd for a special performance with his orchestra.

Bear explains it best on his own blog:

Fans who came to opening night were treated to a surprise appearance by Katee Sackhoff, who joined me on stage to play “Kara Remembers,” the introduction to “Heeding the Call” and “All Along the Watchtower.” She and I had played this together before, at the California Plaza concert in June. Katee is so sweet and radiant in person, it is always a joy to share the stage with her.

Because of the chaos of Comic Con, she and I didn’t have any time to rehearse this time around. She actually flubbed a few notes, and giggled with the audience. However, I thought this really heightened the experience. After all, we were recreating a scene where Kara struggled to remember how to play the song; that’s exactly what Katee did on stage. I actually preferred her natural performance here to the one at California Plaza where we had rehearsed it. Once Katee got the tune under her fingers again, she was rockin’ out with the rest of the band.
