To say that Kal David is just a great Blues guitarist would be a shame, although he is that, indeed. Other
Blues guitarists don’t come close to his wide range of styles, the colors on his palette. Kal David is a fine
and experienced guitarist who can bring you to your knees with his soulfulness, but don’t miss his depth.
Kal David is a singer. His gritty, yet polished vocals take you on an emotion filled ride. The world is about to wake up to a true living legend of music.
Miss Lauri Bono, music partner of Kal David for many years, is a fully featured member of the band. She
is an amazing and dynamic female vocalist. With Lauri, less is always more. Miss Bono sings in a way that
she can sound like soft velvet or turn on the gravel and guts and then pull you right back into another
soft passage. It a gift that she has chosen to share with Kal David as they travel the globe making
records, playing concerts and major VIP events. There is something so special about the chemistry between these two artists.
They work synergistically for the greater good of the performance or the complete record. There is no comparing who is better than the other, they exist because of and for each
other……Perfect Harmony!! Lauri and Kal’s extensive credits look like the who’s who of the music industry. Working for long periods with Etta James and
Johnny Rivers, then Lauri, performing with Bette Midler and Tanya Tucker and Kal doing a long stint with John Mayall and the Blues Breakers
and also performing and/or recording with BB King, Peter Cetera, Paul Cotton, Smokey Robinson, Joe Walsh, Bonnie Raitt, John Lennon, Stevie Wonder and a host of others.
This queen of blue-eyed rock n’ soul, who grew up loving equally the sweetness of a Memphis horn line and the raunch of an electric guitar riff, whether played by Muddy Waters, Keith Richards, or Pop Staples, teased her blonde hair into a beehive in honor of Ronnie Spector and never looked back, picking up a guitar and forging a career as a songwriter in the process. She’s the current, long-time vocalist with the Saturday Night Live Band, whose latest CD, 2010’s The Deep End, was honored on five national Top Ten lists and features special guests/duet partners Ian Hunter, Dion DiMucci, and Marshall Crenshaw, plus Levon Helm, GE Smith, Andy York, Eric “Roscoe” Ambel, Catherine Russell, Big Al Anderson, and others.
