Gillie's welcomes The Kalob Griffin Band to the stage.
The Kalob Griffin Band, a Philadelphia based group better known to their devoted fan base as “KGB,” strives to provide listeners on and off stage with a unique, energetic, and personalized experience that encourages people to come together and have a fun time.
In the summer of 2012, the Kalob Griffin Band is independently releasing their debut album, “June Found a Gun” off of their label, There He is Records. After forming at Penn State in 2009 and undergoing various personnel changes, the Americana rockers released a self-titled EP in the spring of 2010 and have since been continuously touring and developing an active, engaging fan base that has turned into more of a family.
Kalob Griffin (vocals/guitar), Rob Dwyer (guitar/mandolin/banjo), Eric Lawry (drums/vocals), John Hildenbrand (keyboards/vocals), and Nick Salcido (electric/upright bass) compose this troop of musicians who come together to create a sound and live show that some would say is immediately original, familiar, and contagious.
Original and familiar? Take a John Prine lyric, an Avett Brothers harmony, a Neil Young guitar solo, and an Allman Brothers concert, then mix and mash to your hearts desire to hear what KGB is all about.
