Biography

Formed in 1999, the Kurt Jorgensen Band continually turns audiences into fans with their lush three part harmonies, explosive energy, and beautifully crafted songs. Seamlessly moving from blues to soulful gospel to American rock. KJB plays to audiences throughout the Midwest and nationally. Timeless themes mesh with homespun spirituality to create classic verse that complement the band s incredible musical artistry. It comes as no surprise that the band was awarded six Minnesota Music awards in 2002, and seven in 2003.

American Bordeaux, KJB s award-winning first album release, is a mixture of rock, blues and a touch of old-style gospel. Like a good Bordeaux wine, a variety of complex flavors are blended together to form the band s unique brand of American soul.

Howling At The Pal Moon takes you on a sensual journey of energy, longing, and discovery. From the festive beat of Let It Roll to the reflective ballad, So Mucn In Vain, KJB once again creates a harmonious marriage of rhythmic soul and rock.
