* The Bruce Katz Band (at Bull Run Restaurant)

Legendary keyboardist (Hammond B3 and piano) Bruce Katz has released 7 CDs as a leader and has appeared on nearly 70 other CDs with the likes of John Hammond, Delbert McClinton, Ronnie Earl, Duke Robillard, Little Milton, Joe Louis Walker, David “Fathead” Newman and many, many others. He was a member ofGregg Allman’s band for six years and toured with the Allman Brothers as well.

He is a four time BMA nominee (2008, 2009, 2010, 2015) for the “Pinetop Perkins Piano Player of the Year” award, which is the equivalent of the “Blues Grammys”.

His new CD, “Homecoming” was released in November 2014 and features his band as well as guests John Hammond, Randy Ciarlante, Jimmy Bennett among others. It explores his personal, wide-ranging scope of blues, and includes six vocal tunes, in addition to Bruce’s instrumental originals.  

The Bruce Katz Band is an original, very exciting group of musicians that combine blues, “soul-jazz” and New Orleans inspired roots music. Based in Woodstock, NY, Bruce 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.

The Bruce Katz Band is: Bruce Katz on Hammond B3 organ and piano, Chris Vitarello on guitar/vocals and Ralph Rosen on drums/vocals.
