The Kathryn Koch Band formed in early 2021. The band is driven by the Queen of broken hearts herself, Kathryn Koch. (Of Redheaded Stepchild, The Healing Committee). Her songwriting and vocal delivery is reminiscent of Bessie Smith, Lucinda Williams, The Pretenders, and Big Brother and the Holding Company. The group features Buffalo Hall Of Fame Drummer Jeff Schaller (of The Darts, Leroy Townes Band and the Billievers). On electric guitar Sean “The Chameleon” McNamara (of Didi’s Window, Our Friends Band, The Paper Roses, & Mosswalk) & Bassist Tyler Westcott (of Folkfaces, Banjo Juice Jazz Band, The Observers). The KKB delivers a hard hitting mixture reimagined covers and original soulful Blues, Rock N Roll, & Twangy Folk Rock.
