The Bruce Katz Band is an original, very exciting group of musicians that combine Blues, “soul-jazz”, New Orleans inspired roots music and “jam/blues”. Based in Woodstock, NY, Bruce Katz occupies a unique space where blues and the many aspects of Americana music collide into a style of original music all his own. The band has a trademark sound, blending the B3 organ and guitar in unique and inventive ways.
Bruce Katz is a legendary keyboardist (Hammond B3 and piano) who has released 12 CDs as a leader and has appeared on nearly 80 other CDs with the likes of John Hammond, Delbert McClinton, Ronnie Earl, Butch Trucks, Duke Robillard, Little Milton, Joe Louis Walker, Arlen Roth, David “Fathead” Newman, and many, many others. He has also had a strong musical connection with the Allman Brothers Band, having been a member of Gregg Allman’s band for six years (2007-2013), Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band (2010-2015), Butch Trucks’ Freight Train Band (2015-2017) and Les Brers. Bruce also occasionally toured with the Allman Brothers as well.
“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. Whether on Piano or Hammond he tears it up and rocks it out” – Chuck Leavell, Allman Brothers keyboardist, Rolling Stones Musical Director
The Jarred Garneau Band opens the evening with some tasty grooves.
