ABOUT BRUCE KATZ
Bruce Katz is one of the most celebrated keyboardists in blues, roots, and jam music — a master of both the Hammond B3 organ and piano with a career spanning over three decades and nearly 100 recordings. As a bandleader, he has released 14 CDs; as a sideman, he has appeared on nearly 80 albums alongside luminaries including John Hammond, Delbert McClinton, Ronnie Earl, Butch Trucks, Duke Robillard, Little Milton, Joe Louis Walker, and David "Fathead" Newman.
Bruce's deep connection to the Allman Brothers legacy is unparalleled among working musicians today. He served six years (2007–2013) as a member of Gregg Allman's band, was part of Jaimoe's Band (2010–2015), performed with the Butch Trucks Freight Train Band, and occasionally toured with the Allman Brothers Band itself.
AWARD-WINNING ARTIST
Bruce is an eight-time Blues Music Award nominee for the prestigious "Pinetop Perkins Piano Player of the Year" — the equivalent of a Grammy in the blues world. He won the 2019 BMA for "Best Acoustic Album" for Journeys to the Heart of the Blues and received nominations from Living Blues Magazine for "Outstanding Musician (Keyboard)" in 2015, 2019, and 2025.
WHAT ARTISTS AND CRITICS ARE SAYING
“He can play jazz, blues, Bach, anything. Man, he’s a heavy!” — Gregg Allman
“This man is as good as it gets. One of the greatest keyboard artists I’ve ever heard.” — John Hammond
“Bruce Katz has a groove that is as deep as the Grand Canyon and as wide as the Amazon… and fingers full of fire.” — Chuck Leavell, Allman Brothers keyboardist and Rolling Stones Musical Director
“Back In Boston Live is one of the highlights of the year in ANY genre.” — John Kerrieff, GO Magazine, Toronto
“Katz has a broad musical intellect of a very high order… a true individualist.” — DownBeat Magazine
The Bruce Katz Band is:
Bruce Katz – Hammond B3 organ and piano
Aaron Lieberman (God Street Wine) – guitar/vocals

We are returning to Durham with new music, a new album and are excited to play this great venue again! This is sponsored by our friends in the Triangle Blues Society, hope to see everyone there!
