Katie Skene is a Roots Rock & Americana singer/songwriter/guitarist whose music blends the twang of southern rock with the cosmic sounds of the California jam scene. Originally from Tallahassee, FL and currently based in Ventura, CA, Katie's music embodies the melding of her Southern roots with a decade spent on the West Coast. Through the prism of Katie's evocative vocals, personal songwriting and masterful guitar work, her band blends electric swamp blues with jam-band psychedelia and heart-rendering, soul-igniting Americana. Onstage, they bring a joyful, incendiary energy that combines timeless songwriting with improvised jams. Her album released last year, Symmetry of Wildflowers, contains some truly breathtaking compositions – most notably the title track – which deserve widespread recognition. The KSB’s performances incorporate soaring southern-fried guitar, lilting pedal steel guitar, colorful, atmospheric keyboards and intoxicating blues-drenched vocals, all laid over a deeply pocketed groove. Fans of the Tedeschi-Trucks Band, Samantha Fish and early era Bonnie Raitt will be particularly enlivened.
Katie has shared the stage with many legendary artists and musicians, including Bob Weir & Phil Lesh (Grateful Dead), Chris Robinson (The Black Crowes), George Porter Jr. (The Meters), Warren Haynes (The Allman Brothers Band), Vince Herman (Leftover Salmon), Col. Bruce Hampton and more. Katie took led the charge for the short-lived jam-band supergroup California Kind (with John Molo, Pete Sears, Barry Sless & Rob Barraco) which has recently blossomed into Skeleton Crewe (without her involvement). Currently she is a member of Oscar-winning actress Kate Hudson’s touring band. We’re talking about a seriously lovable renaissance woman who has a rich history playing at the Crazy Horse in other bands including TV Broken 3rd Eye Open. Prepare to be transported to into a portal of awe-inspiring, musical bliss!
