REQUEST MORE INFO
The Broadcast is a powerhouse, six-piece soul rock band formed in Brooklyn, NY in 2007. With sweeping melodies, polyrhythmic grooves and an uncanny ability to connect with listeners, their high energy shows leave audiences frenzied for more. The band draws influences from the funky soulful Motown Sound of Stevie Wonder and the raw vocal prowess of singers such as Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin. The band is fronted by platinum blonde Caitlin Krisko, whose commanding voice has been described by Cosmopolitan Magazine as "drenched in honey, and dripping with soul." After selling out NYC venues such as the legendary Blue Note and Mercury Lounge, the band went on to raise over $4,500 through Kickstarter.com to purchase a van, allowing them the opportunity to spread their music even further.

The current lineup debuted at last years SXSW Music Conference to much acclaim, and has been touring consistently since. In early 2010, the band entered into a licensing agreement with MTV/VH1 for the network's use of various tracks off the band's debut record, "Over the Undercover" to be used on various programming. To allow themselves the opportunity to tour nationally on a extended basis, it became clear that New York City was no longer the epicenter to make such a goal a reality. In September 2010, the band in its entirety moved to the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina and have made music their full time career. They are currently gearing up for a fall/winter tour to support their soon to be released sophomore album "Days Like Dreams".
