KGB is a high-powered acoustic trio disguised as a contradance band. The Seattle-based group has inspired dancers and listeners alike throughout the Pacific Northwest with their exciting interpretations of traditional reels and jigs, original compositions and exquisite waltzes. They know how to play for dancers--with straightforward driving New England tunes, smoky tango riffs, jazz-rock phrases, even frantic Balkan scales. KGB's Website
