Katie Mitchell is a singer/songwriter whose powerful, soulful voice is often compared to the likes of Janis Joplin and is paired perfectly with her relatable and confessional style of music. Although she now calls Long Beach, New York, home, her musical roots began at a very young age amongst a family of musicians in Virginia and Ohio. Mitchell grew up listening to an eclectic mix of music from Folk and Americana to classic rock, but her biggest musical influences growing up were the female singer/songwriters coming out of Lilith Fair such as Jewel, Sara McLaughlin, and Joan Osborne.

Mitchell and her band primarily perform around Long Island and New York City, with an especially strong local following in the band’s hometown of Long Beach, known for its bar and live music scene. They have played well-known venues and festivals such as The Bitter End, the Long Beach Summer Concert Series, and local favorite Finn Fest. The KMB is known and loved for their mix of originals, eclectic set of covers, and a sound ranging from classic rock to folk-pop. They cover artists from Lady Gaga to Led Zeppelin and The Beatles to lesser-known groups such as Lucius and Wet Leg.
