Artist Information

Biography

We have worked hard to ensure that Who Knew isn’t considered just another cover band. Kelli Ann has performed at Carnegie Hall as a teenager, Michael Young has played with John Mellencamp, Katie Leigh has numerous awards in her gospel career, Tony Domino has been in thirty movies including the Dark Night, Matt is credited on numerous CDs, and Jackie has a Master’s in Musicology from Tufts.
In our first two years, Who Knew performed for over 100 shows, including playing for the Australian Consulate at the Trump Towers Chicago. Soon after that event, we received a letter from Elizabeth Schick, Consul General, which reads:
“……The event guests were impressed by your group's versatility and genuine talent…….If a crowded dance floor is indicative of a successful evening, then I heartily congratulate you all on a job well done. We look forward to further opportunities to hear Who Knew perform and wish you the best with your future endeavors."
With an average age of less than 34, Who Knew has 124 years of combined music experience. We still really love what we do, and look forward to doing what we love for years to come.
