Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers (SK6ers) are an American rock band featuring lead singer Stephen Kellogg, bassist and keyboard player Keith ‘Kit’ Karlson, and drummer Brian Factor. They have also included former guitarists Chris Soucy and Kyle Riabko in past line ups. Several members hail from Massachusetts, and went to school at UMass. The Sixers have developed a moderate fan base by touring almost nonstop year-round. In the last two years, they have performed over 300 shows, and have been steadily moving thousands of copies of their independently released albums.
Each member of the Sixers brings their own contributions, and many of them have expanded instrumentation in live shows. Although their principal instruments are listed below, they will often switch to other instruments depending on which song they are playing. The full instrumental make-up for the Sixers in concert is as follows:
* Stephen Kellogg - Principal vocals, Acoustic guitar, Harmonica, Kazoo
* Kit “Goose” Karlson - Electric bass, Keyboards, Keytar, Accordion, Backup vocals
* Brian “Boots” Factor - Drums, Backup vocals

These guys are great! Saw them live with Thorogood last night. I was chatting with Stephen for a little bit, he seems like quite a nice guy, joking about how the drummer should sell his hat for 150 bucks when he bought it for 30 XD

You can't deny that they've got a bit of a country twang to their stuff. I definitely wouldn't label them solely as country. I'd file them under rock, especially their live shows.

Who tagged SK as country? That's so not right. They are rock, acoustic, alternative, indie, anything but country. Now the simliar artists listing is all off.
