KALO plays the song "Free" off the album WIld Change at Gas Monkey Live in Dallas, Texas.
“Rock ‘n’ roll with a taste of blues ... They’re known for their soulful rock and Kalo’s gravelly voice ... a smooth, sexy sound with a rhythm that sucks you in.
- Skope Magazine”

KALO is a festival favorite across the Midwest, playing music festivals such as Musikfest in Pennsylvania, Magic City Blues Festival in Billings, Montana, 35 Denton in Texas, Paxico Blues Festival in Kansas, Norman Music Festival in Oklahoma — as well as intimate music series and venues like Live from the Divide in Bozeman, Montana.

Festival and Concert Highlights 2014-2020

A "tour-de-force" of the American Heartland, KALO (fronted by Israeli-born guitarist/vocalist Bat-Or Kalo) is an electrifying power-trio known for a signature blend of groovesome R&B and gritty, infectious rock ‘n’ roll. With a vintage Gibson in hand and a contralto voice that commands any room, KALO has built a formidable reputation across the Midwest, the Northeast, and the South as a high-energy, professional headlining act.
