Artist History Listeners have described their sound as soulful, inspirational and uplifting. Their music touches a diverse audience and projects earnestness to penetrate the heart. The Band's root sound blends acoustic guitar, deep bass and Kathi's soulful/folksy vocal style. The Kathi Burg Band was formed in the late 1990's by lyricist/vocalist Kathi Burg, guitarist Johnny Suzano and bassist Tim Burg. They landed their first official gig at a San Diego coffeehouse and soon after, were booked at the well-known, Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, California, for a night dedicated to local bands. In 1999, the Kathi Burg Band went into the studio to record their first album entitled, "All Those Things Thought On and Hoped For". The album's single, 'But A Season', hit number 10 on MP3.com's acoustic music charts, while their single, 'Susan', landed in its top 20. Shortly after, came their second studio release, a self-titled acoustic album, containing such singles as, 'Her Sanity' and 'Practically Invisible'. The Kathi Burg Band has played venues such as Coors Amphitheatre (side stage), San Diego's ArtWalk 2002 and 2003, the Del Mar Fair, colleges (University of San Diego California, United States International University), Borders Books and Music stores, various clubs and coffeehouses in San Diego and have made promotional appearances on San Diego's Channel 7/39 News.
