Katie & Andrea are an L.A-based Acid Americana duo featuring singer/songwriter/
guitarist Katie Skene (California Kind) and pedal steel/fiddle player Andrea Whitt (Zucchero,
Shania Twain). They have each worked for many years in the jam band/Americana scene,
sharing the stage with prominent artists including Bob Weir (Grateful Dead), Phil Lesh (Grateful Dead), and Warren Haynes (Allman Brothers Band). Now they have joined forces to create original music that they have dubbed "Acid Americana. Their music melds vintage rock, blues, country, folk, and California psychedelia into a melodic dreamscape of sound that is sparking a buzz in the jam band community. After spending the summer as the official entertainment for the Dead & Company Preshow VIP Lounge, Katie & Andrea have put together a rapidly growing catalogue of original music with influences including Southern rock & soul, 60s psychedelia, Delta blues, outlaw country, and 70s California folk. Their arrangements feature various combinations of instrumentation, including electric, acoustic and resonator guitars, pedal steel, fiddle, viola, and mandolin, all composed, arranged, and performed by Katie & Andrea. Katie & Andrea is just the latest collaboration for the two musicians. Katie has spent years as a bandleader and songwriter for various groups, from jam-band supergroup California Kind to southern rock and blues groups that draw heavily on her roots from the Southeast. Andrea tours extensively internationally with Zucchero and was a member of Shania Twains band for her Las Vegas residency. Their debut single "Sweet & High" will be released on all major platforms on 10/4/19.
