Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Gaelic Storm, Eileen Ivers, Bonnie Raitt, The Indigo Girls, Old Crow Medicine Show, John Hiatt all rolled into one,with a Celtic twist.
The KSB is one of the most unique, groovin' Americana Jam bands this side of - well, Americana, showcasing soulful energetic folk/rock tunes, bluesy guitar riffs, all spiced with Celtic instruments. Imagine an Irish pub in the middle of Woodstock. Well, there you have it!
The KSB coined the phrase
FOLK-A-DELIC
to describe their music.
Katie is a voting member of the National Association of Recording Arts and Sciences.
With the March 2006 national release of MELTING POT, The Katie Sullivan Band now has 4 albums under their belt, and some pretty impressive endorsements from Guiness, The City of Chicago, and Chicago Entertainers Group.
The Katie Sullivan Band has proudly shared the stage with Melvin Seals, The Jerry Garcia Band, Gaelic Storm, Mr. Blotto, and Black 47.
When the KSB was formed, the effect on the Chicago scene was intoxicatingly energetic, to say the least. Katie joined forces with Grammy- winning producer Michael Freeman to create a sound for this jam band who could not choose between Irish pub music, and psychedelic grooves. The band and the concept grew.
With Katie at the helm, band originators Kent Kaled, and Michael Brown joined top musicians LJ Slavin, David Gans, Steve Haberichter, Ruby Harris, Garrett Degnan, Jack Pieroth, Anthony Massaro, and Mike Ellis to create a musical experience colorful, rootsy, and full of drive.
