Have you performed in front of an audience?
The KSB currently plays nationwide live shows, centralizing their current tour schedule around the Midwest. Their live shows have been aired on radio both in the States and abroad. Their most recent special moment was releasing their newest CD "Feel Free to Dance," which was produced by Grammy nominated producer Michael Freeman.
Your musical influences
The KSB is unfluenced by American folk/rock and blues greats of the 60's and 70's. Their favorite influences include the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Muddy Waters, CCR, the Allman Brothers, and Crosby Stills, Nash & Young, just to name a few. The twist they add to their shows comes from the Celtic Rock influence. Their influences in this area are acts such as Gaelic Storm and the Corrs. The KSB truly rocks out some of the most popular Irish pubs tunes, turning them into pulsating grooves that have everyone on their feet.
What equipment do you use?
We use Takamine and Martin acoustic electric guitars, Rickenbacker bass, and Brownie the drummer, well his kit is custom-made- by Brownie the drummer. He has so much world percussion that I guess you would have to ask him! (brownie@katiemusic.com)
