Kathleen Turner Overdrive 5-piece covers band playing a high-energy mix of 70s-80s new wave, rock, and pop

We need a stage area of AT LEAST 16' x 12', and reliable power (preferably 3-4 outlets, tho as long as we don't blow a fuse we can make do with fewer). Typically we would need 4 or 5 parking spots.

Mostly just the address for our GPS, but any particulars about load-in locations or quirks would be appreciated!

We can provide and run our own basic sound system (usually we come with a sound person) and a basic lighting rig; given notice and budget we can provide a more substantial sound and lighting rig.

We're happy to run a playlist around our sets.

We've played an adult prom for an arts non-profit (and are doing it again in February 2026), played the opening ceremony for the last two years of the O Henry Pun-Off, and last summer got to open for Urban Heat at the Blanton Museum of Art!

We love birthday parties, they've been some of our best crowds and energies! Really, tho, anywhere people want to get up and dance and enjoy being alive, we want to be the soundtrack!

All members of the band came up in other projects, but we formed in the spring of 2022 and had our first gig that fall. Three years and 100+ gigs later, we're adding songs all the time and loving the experience!

John Cusack.

David Bowie, David Byrne, Billy Idol... it's a long and diverse list!

Typically we arrive ~2 hours before showtime, and try to soundcheck 1 hour before (tho we can work with the schedule of your event as needed). For a 2 hour show, we'll usually go straight through, for a 3 we'll take a 15-20 minute break around the middle. If the party is jumpin' and the venue is agreeable, we're happy to keep playing beyond our time (tho we certainly don't mind being paid a little more in that case).

We will play outdoors but request cover from the elements (and an understanding about set lengths and breaks in the event of extreme heat or cold).

Given notice, we're happy to learn a song for the event; if you'd like more songs specific to you, we're willing to talk price.

"Kathleen Turner Overdrive is the real deal -- very talented, engaged with the audience, and they sound like the bands they are covering! I recommend them if you are booking a private event because they are easy to work with and genuinely interested in helping the audience have fun!"
"We have seen this group play a few times and they are just so much fun. I hired them to play for our golf club and everyone had a blast and they were so easy to work with. Their music appeals to both young and old (like me!). The 5 guys that make up this group are very talented and I believe they have been together for several years. I highly recommend this band….you won’t be disappointed."
"After attending multiple performances at diverse venues, I can attest to KTO's fabulous musical talent/skill, GREAT playlist, and consistently-high performance level.

I enthusiastically endorse KTO for ALL the event options listed on the website."
