At the forefront is the exceptional Kelly Quinn, whose commanding vocals bring raw emotion and energy to every performance.

Michael Coburn, our lead guitarist, crafts many of our original compositions and infuses our music with a masterful mix of jazz and blues while also providing backing vocals. Complementing his style, Michael Morales delivers a gritty, blues-infused second lead guitar, creating a riveting contrast that defines our signature sound.

Chris Elmore contributes original music and high-energy performances on keyboards, featuring Hammond B3 tones, along with soulful harmonica and lead/backing vocals. Holding down the groove, Steve Johnson provides a rock-solid foundation on bass, seamlessly locking in with our exceptional drummer, Michael Brown, whose rhythm and feel embody the heart of a true soul percussionist. Adding a rich layer of blues decadence, Rocky Jette's dynamic saxophone playing elevates our sound with expressive and captivating melodies.

Leading the charge with unmatched vocal prowess, Kelly Quinn pours her heart into every performance, delivering powerful blues rock ballads and high-energy anthems straight from the soul.

KQBE's repertoire includes both original compositions and a diverse range of blues classics and rock-infused favorites.
