The Performer
Often compared to Tina Marie, Kat, vocalist/saxplayer pulls
together in�uences 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
de�nes her own unique pop sound. Her musical background and
upbringing in Detroit, Denver and LA has made her a seasoned
player. Kat’s EP “Poster Child” fuses R&B, Funk and a little Jazz.
Brett Callwood of Metrotimes writes: “Kat Orlando is at the
opposite end of the musical spectrum. This pop-soul diva has
played around town in various bands for a few years now, playing
highly polished music that seems to sit somewhere between
Gloria Estefan and Morris Day & the Time. The girl can sure
play the sax.” She has opened for groups like Wall of Voodoo,
shared the stage with Candy Givens and Members of Zephyr and
Michael Clark of the Byrds. Rosanne Barr opened for her at a
Women in Music Festival in Boulder. Kat has backed up performers such as Spyder Turner and Brian O’Neal. As a solo artist, Kat
takes the stage with all the energy and a big voice that de�es her
small stature. Her music is available at katorlando.com and most
digital sites.
The Band
Kat surrounds herself with
top musicians. When she
is not performing with
popular R&B Dance cover
band Hidden Agenda with
her husband Larry Pinho,
she is fronting her own
Kat’s Funkaholic! Along
with Larry on guitar, Kat
is joined by KV Fowler on
keys (also from Mainstreet
Soul) Rodney Mecks on
drums (has performed with
Carl Carlton among others)
and Ray Smith on bass.
In addition to playing concert venues performing material from
Kat’s CDs, they are ready to rock any nightclub with funky dance
crowd-pleasing songs! For bookings call 810.908.4525 or email:
