Besides leading his own band, he is currently a member of the Gregg Allman Band and played with the Allman Brothers on their Fall 2009 tour.
The Bruce Katz Band blurs the lines between blues, soul-jazz, and rock in an original and exciting way, playing mostly original music, both instrumental and vocal. The band has a trademark sound, blending the B3 organ and guitar.
Bruce has been nominated for the past 3 years in a row by the Memphis based Blues Foundation for their "Piano Player of the Year" award, which is the equivalent of the "Blues Grammys".
"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
