Band Websitewww.oksistersband.com
Band MembersKATE FLY – lead/backing vocals, acoustic and bass guitar Coming from a very musically oriented family it was Kate’s destiny to hit the stage. Performing since she was a young girl, Kate found her niche in singing and songwriting and has utilized this talent with several bands throughout the years. Kate is a self-taught guitarist/bass player with her biggest influences consisting of blues, jazz and rock artists. She has been described by many as being a “natural” on stage with dynamic vocals that have been compared to Bonnie Raitt and Ann Wilson of Heart. Kate has WOW’d audiences from Kansas City where she shared the stage with renowned B3 organist Everett DeVan - who has played with BB King, Count Basie, Nancy Wilson, etc) to Omaha, NE where she was invited to share the stage with internationally known Carolyn Wonderland from Austin, Texas.***************************************************************** KAREN EARHART – lead/backing vocals, bass and acoustic guitar, Growing up a country girl in mid-Nebraska, Karen picked up the acoustic guitar at the age of 12 and taught herself how to play. She was inspired by her father, Stanley Anderson, aunts and uncles who would gather for practice every week. Karen entertained her family and would play for school functions. She finally made it to the stage and although learning a few chords from her father, was able to keep up in the music world, always going forward writing and composing songs. Due to the demand for bass players she decided to go “cold turkey” one night and never looked back. Karen fell comfortably into the instrument. Her biggest influences are bassist Victor Wooten and Paul McCartney. Karen can funk, plunk and walk with the best of the big boys and is not afraid to show it. Reviews from fans have said that Karen has a strong/sultry voice and that she is a strong guitar player as well as a bassist. She has jammed on stage with Joe Bonamassa in Omaha and Brad Cordle from Las Vegas just to name a few greats. She has two sons, Ben and Neil, and a granddaughter Haley.****************************************************************** STEVE MAIN – drums, backing/lead vocals Steve has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in music education-percussion major/vocal minor. He has been a professional drummer since 1969 and has performed as an opening act for The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Billy Dean among others. As a recording artist he has produced, engineered and performed on two Top 100 singles and has written and recorded nationally and internationally used radio and television jingles. He has a son Ryan and daughter Stephanie and works at Yanda’s. Music.****************************************************************** MARTY TILLEY – harmonica, piano, organ Martin “Doc” Tilley started playing harmonica in high school and has been an accomplished musician ever since. He has played in various bands throughout his 30+ years experience and on stage in Chicago, IL at the Kingston Mines Blues Center. Marty is one of the top harmonica and keyboard players you’ll ever hear in the state. His soloing adds the perfect spice to the band’s arrangements. ************************************************************************* MIKE SCIACHITANO – lead guitar Mike was born in Des Moines in 1963. He started playing professionally right out of high school in 1981. Mike has played in and around Des Moines through most of the 80s opening up or playing with such artist’s as Eddie Money, 38 Special and Tower of Power just to name a few. He began to travel the United States with various bands through the 1990s, most notably the Iowa based band “Flipside.” Mike left the “road” in August of 2007 and now resides in Kearney, NE with his wife Tammy and poodle “Louie.” He now plays lead guitar for the OK Sisters Band and works for Yanda’s Music.

   About The OK Sisters Band

When a group of musicians spend more than a decade together a number of things happen. You log in the miles, make friends, share a lot of ups and downs, and hopefully make some musical magic along the way. The magic is here! The OK Sisters Band is the best kept musical secret in the Midwest. The band’s sound has been compared to such greats as Bonnie Raitt, Heart, and Fleetwood Mac. They bring to the stage a refreshing mix of original songs as well as their own arrangements of classic blues and groovin’ rock tunes. Vocalists ****Kate Fly and Karen Earhart***** have been singing together long enough that they harmonize like true sisters, plus they are unusually talented on guitar and bass. *****Steve Main***** is a rock solid drummer who adds the third harmony part, completing a full, rich vocal blend. Adding spice to the mix is *****Marty Tilley,***** who plays keyboards and is a world class harmonica player. The newest member of the group is ****Mike Sciachitano,***** a seasoned veteran lead guitarist unparalleled in this region. The band has released two CDs, “Edge of a Rock” and “The Girls Are Alright” which have received wonderful acclaim over the years. Catch them live…you owe it to yourself to hear one of the tightest bands around….
