Stephen Kellogg and The Sixers

Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers is a Massachusetts' trio made up of two distinct parts. In one corner stands the unmistakably jubilant personality of rock-n-roll's The Sixers; in the other sits an authentic American songwriter in a period of profound growth. Rising triumphantly in the center is a band whose music is the perfect marriage of the two.
Live, the Sixers - Keith "Goose" Karlson (bass/keys) and Brian "Boots" Factor (drums) - play together like brothers, effortlessly sharing the stage and the spotlight. Honed over hundreds of gigs across the country, the Sixers shows are vivid celebrations of camaraderie and friendship. "There is a realization in the band," says Kellogg, "that this is a journey. It's not just an end result. What you have is what you make of every day."
For the past five years, Kellogg & the Sixers have toured non-stop, some years clocking in close to 300 shows. They've shared the stage with such notable and diverse artists as Guster, James Brown, Jason Mraz, Kathleen Edwards, Carbon Leaf, Mike Doughty, Josh Ritter, George Thorogood and Hanson.
With a full North American tour lined up for the fall and the release of American Standard at the start of 2009, the future of Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers looks brighter than ever. And their broadening base of dedicated followers: teenagers covering their binders and MySpace profiles with "SK6ERS" and their parents re-discovering how rock 'n roll can speak to them, deeply, through the words and music of Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers, will continue to find what they've been searching for -- a growing musical legacy of a life honestly and actively lived.
