'Swenner'
John Swenson, Lead Singer
John Swenson has been leading the show for many a decade in fantastic style. He has vocals that are perfect for the genre of rock music played by KOR. You will have the time of your life at any show where John is leading the fray! Swenner was with the band Cherry Pie for almost 20 years, and has also sung with ARRA, Chyna, Love Gun and others.
Tom
Thomas Jacobson, DRummer
Tom has been drumming since his Middle School days when he played in bands around the Madison, WI area. Tom has played with Kings of Radio for 16 years :) Mr. Tempo brings it every time when he is on the drum risers. Come see the action for yourself!
Dan
dan kalagian, Lead guitar
Dan the Man is a jack of all trades, he can nail a lead solo like no one else in the state of Wisconsin. Don't believe us? Come see for yourself. His talk-box sings, and his fingers fly faster than light. "Muscle memory" (aka lots of practice) he says is his trick. Dan has played with KOR for almost a decade and currently also plays with Mighty Electric.
Bob
RObert Hatch, Keyboards & Guitar
Bob can play every instrument in the band, he could record your song for you too. The multi-faceted Mr. Hatch makes all the live music sound like the record with the addition of keys, guitar and vocals. But wait, there's more... if you want on-stage antics and animation, come see KOR for yourself. Bob also plays with Breakwater Acoustic in the Madison, WI area.

Teri & Matt
