Morganfield Burnett Blues Band, feat. Katie Skene & Stewart Forgey

Morganfield Burnett and his four-piece band are local legends in the Blues scene. Born in Texas in the 1940s, Burnett's encounters with the brutal racial terrorism of the time set him on an unconventional and artistic path. His deep conviction that the love of money is the root of all evil resonates through his soulful harmonica and growling voice, making the Morganfield Burnett Blues Band a true local treasure

A University of Southern California alumna with a B.M. in Popular Music Performance, she has been active in the Jam-Band and Americana scene since 2015, collaborating with legendary artists. Her second EP, "Toward the Tide," was released in May 2023, and she currently fronts the Katie Skene Band while also being part of California Kind and TV Broken 3rd Eye Open.
