Kivett Bednar Band

Guitarist-vocalist Kivett Bednar grew up in Austin, steeped in the Texas Blues tradition. Sneaking into Antone’s to hear the greats, practicing to his dad’s old records and honing his chops at Berklee led to an award-winning sound that is gritty, heartfelt and distinctly his own. 

Drummer Edwin Coleman III mixes his roots in Louisiana and Cuban music with the West Coast Swing he learned playing in clubs with his father, bassist Edwin Coleman, Jr. to create a potent rhythmic stew. 

On bass is Jeff Langston, another accomplished Berklee grad who’s played everywhere from CBGB to Carnegie Hall.

Organist Pat McDougall listens avidly to drawbar greats like Mike Finnigan, James Toney, Jimmy McGriff and more, questing to bring their immortal grit and grease to the sound of the KBB.
