About the band...

Don't Date Kate! is a duo of lifelong friends, who honed their craft in their teen years under the direction of the great Ron Dickson from Michigan. Dickson's insistence on playing multiple instruments, styles of music, dedication to a group, disciple, perfection and the philosophy of "if you are going to make a mistake, make it a big one" can be found in every one of their songs. The bands retro sound is attributed to their study and love of all musical genres from days gone by. It is Don't Date Kate's desire to write humorous, relatable lyrics that impart joy and music that makes you move.
