I'll guide you to amazing places

A powerhouse of rhythm, soul, and unforgettable energy, Kat Orlando is the front woman and multi-instrumentalist of her band delivering a dazzling live experience that captures the very heart of Rock and Soul music. With a sound steeped in vintage grooves and timeless musicianship, they breathe new life into the greatest retro dance hits ever recorded — turning every performance into a packed dance floor celebration.

Leading the charge, Kat Orlando, a two-time Detroit Music Award winner commands a stage presence with extraordinary versatility that captivates audiences night after night. Equally at home belting soulful classics as she is delivering fiery rock performances, Kat stuns crowds with her masterful renditions of legendary Jethro Tull flute solos while channeling the electrifying spirit and powerhouse vocals of Tina Turner with uncanny energy and charisma.

From blistering guitar riffs to silky keyboard runs, thunderous rhythm sections to electrifying horn arrangements, every member of the band performs at an elite level. Their signature saxophone-driven sound is nothing short of iconic, featuring the quintessential sax songs that defined generations of dance and soul music. Each note is delivered with passion, precision, and pure Detroit grit.

Made up of some of the finest musicians in Detroit, this is truly the cream of the crop — seasoned performers whose chemistry, talent, and stage presence are impossible to ignore. Whether channeling the smoky soul of Motown, the swagger of classic rock, or the infectious pulse of retro dance anthems, the band creates an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and thrillingly alive.

More than just a band, they are a musical experience — sophisticated, high-energy, and unforgettable from the very first song to the final encore.

Honk Magazine writes:

Kat Orlando launched a movement with her new release, “Love Army”. Like the way she just took these three decades and made them one, became a sponge over other people’s influences. Orlando spotlights her musical firepower into an anthem for togetherness in a world all too often divided.


Lyrical Odyssey says:

Kat has always been a firecracker performer, but "Love Army" confirms her as an edge-busting creator who can take her talent into any genre and have it roar with relevance.

She’s the Queen of Sax in Detroit. The moody, funky, gritty notes that Kat plays on her venerable woodwind instrument have energized the stages of nightclubs and festivals across Detroit for decades. She is a remarkable artist and entertainer. Kat spans multiple music genres. She can lay down a heavy Funk melody that will mesmerize an audience, then bust out with some Rock music, and then easily shift to Pop, Soul, or Jazz. Her musical versatility and repertoire appeals to a wide range of fans. Kat performs her own  5-7 piece KAT ORLANDO BAND as well as the KAT ORLANDO DUO featuring (husband) Larry Pinho on Guitar.
