Kat is a vocalist/saxplayer [often compared to Tina Marie] pulls together influences of Ian Andersen/Jethro Tull, Traffic,Stevie Wonder, Bonnie Raitt, Gladys Knight, Junior Walker and David Sanborn to create sound that harkens back to that classic era yet defines her own unique pop sound. Her extensive musical background and upbringing in Detroit, Denver and LA has made her a seasoned player and performer.
She writes with an intuitive melodic sense that keeps a song in your head for hours on end. She is joined on these recordings by Ron Otis (drummer with Kem. Ron also tours with Earl Klugh and Bob James) and Ray Burton (touring bass player for the Spinners) and her husband, Larry Pinho on guitar.
Previously Kat released her CD “Contradiction” which featured legendary Motown guitarist, Dennis
Coffey along with various Detroit local talents like Andre’Frappier (guitarist for Jaheem and Angie
Stone) and members of horn band Art-of-Fact. Prior to moving back to Detroit, her song placed second in a Colorado Songwriting Contest.
As a solo artist, Kat takes the stage with all the energy and a big voicethat defies her small stature. Tune into the broadcast as Host Diandra talks with Kat Orlando about her solo career, being a Poster Child for music, and more.
