Katie Skene is a Roots & Americana singer/songwriter/guitarist whose music blends the twang of southern rock with the cosmic sounds of California. 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 expressive guitar work, her band blends electric swamp blues with jam-band psychedelia. Onstage, they bring a joyful, incendiary energy that combines timeless songwriting with improvised jams. Their performance incorporates funky far-out synths, soaring southern-fried guitar, colorful keyboards and intoxicating blues-drenched vocals, all laid over a deeply pocketed groove. Their music revives the spirit of bands like The Allman Brothers Band and Grateful Dead, maintaining an unpredictable quality that still feels familiar.

Singer, songwriter Max Kasch’s earliest inspiration came from the radio. At night on his family's farm in The Upper Ojai valley of California he would listen to the crackle of airwaves and dream up worlds. Drawing through lines from such writers as Randy Newman, Bob Dylan, John Steinbeck and Los Lobos, Max aims to capture the great clashing of the immensity of the edge of the continent with the Pacific Ocean and the many people called and compelled by this land.
