Interview: Caitlin Krisko of Caitlin Krisko & the Broadcast – September 26, 2025
Caitlin Krisko & The Broadcast is a powerhouse soul-rock band from Asheville, North Carolina, known for their gritty rock & roll sound infused with deep blues and roots influences. Fronted by the electrifying vocalist Caitlin Krisko—hailed by Rolling Stone as “arguably one of the best kept vocal secrets of the Southeast”—the band delivers emotionally charged performances that blend soaring melodies, raw vulnerability, and high-energy stage presence. Since rebranding in 2021 (evolving from the earlier incarnation simply known as The Broadcast), they’ve built a dedicated fanbase across the US, UK, and Europe through relentless touring, festival appearances, and critically acclaimed releases.
The band has shared stages with heavyweights like Mavis Staples, Marcus King, Blackberry Smoke, The Wood Brothers, Margo Price, The Avett Brothers, Greta Van Fleet, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Charles Bradley, The String Cheese Incident, Bettye LaVette, and Gregg Allman’s Buffalo Mountain Jam. They’ve worked with producers Eric Sarafin (Ben Harper, Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Johnny Cash).
