Katie Skene is a guitar slinger - singer - songwriter whose music blends the soul of the South and the spirit of the West coast to create a sound she calls Cosmic Swamp Americana. Originally raised in the blues scene of Tallahassee, FL, Katie spent over a decade playing in the California Jam scene before making her way to Nashville, TN. Through the prism of Katie's evocative vocals, personal songwriting and compelling guitar work, her band blends electric southern-fried blues and jam-band experimentation with a joyful, incendiary energy. Their performance incorporates funky & colorful keyboards, soaring southern-fried guitar, 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.
