Carley started out by playing solo gigs and wanted to expand her sound. She reached out first, to find someone to play guitar with her at her first ever show, at Hendershots coffee and bar, as a solo artist. Juan Ochoa started playing guitar and writing songs with Carley, and this is where the idea of forming a band sparked. Carley made posters, reached out to fellow musicians, and put out the message that she wanted to create with more people. The original group that was named “Karma Kat” included; rhythm guitarist, Hannah Selvaggi, Drummer, Aaron Philip, pianist, Conner Divita, Bassist, Juan Ochoa, and Vocalist, Carley Rogers! As time went by the Kats created music that incorporated jazz, rock, and pop centric elements. As time went by the band changed, as many of the original members were offered new jobs, new starts, and life changes. The band welcomed many new member, one that is now a staple for the band being: Nick Christian as rhythm guitarist/lead guitarist/background vocals. The band welcomed new drummers, new sounds, and genre changes which Carley quotes, “makes the band more unique and expands our sound”. Now the band is at a place where they want to create a sound that is special to them & are working on putting out a new EP!
