Bat-Or Kalo (KALO) is an Israeli guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Her music is based on sexy guitar, infectious rhythms, and smoky vocals. Bat-Or Kalo fronts her eponymous trio and also travels and tours the U.S. and Israel solo (wearing only her last name and her vintage Gibson electric guitar). Creating music with influences of rhythm and blues meets mighty rock n roll. In 2017, KALO released her studio album, Wild Change, which was fresh off the heels of Live in NYC, recorded at the renowned The Bitter End music club in New York City and released in late 2016. Based in the Midwest for the past three years as she zigzags the country, KALO’s roots run deep and trace back to her home an ocean away in Israel. KALO is now releasing her much-anticipated single, “No Shame.” a guitar-driven rock song about embracing pain and fear and feeling no shame in life’s struggles.
