Red Letter Days

Red Letter Days is like Joan Jett fronting the All-American Rejects, Gwen Stefani singing with Cheap Trick, and Pat Benatar belting it out with Green Day. Fitting in today’s music scene somewhere between Paramore, Florence and the Machine, and Haim, Red Letter Days will make a similar impact with their female fronted sibling rock band. Red Letter Days, from St. Louis Mo., began years ago when siblings, Katie (Vocals, 24) and Willy McKenna (Drums, 22) discovered in high school they had the talent, drive and passion to make music that means something to themselves and others. Originally known as kMw, the quirky yet charismatic brother and sister songwriting duo; released two EP’s, built an on-line international fan base, and developed their songwriting skills. In 2011, they added Alex Bolano (21) as their lead guitarist who immediately made a positive impact musically. In 2012, ready to take it to the next level, in order to match their maturity and growth as songwriters and as a band, they decided to change their name. The group chose Red Letter Days as an homage to their late grandfather who, "...kept a daily journal, in which days that were special to him were marked as 'Red Letter Days,'" according to Willy, who explains "The name has a double meaning for us. First it's a link and a tribute to one of the most important people in our lives, and also, using his definition, we consider any days we get to play our music to be Red Letter Days." Red Letter Days is truly “A Band To Watch,” in 2014 with an amazing opportunity they will share soon and plans to tour much as possible in Summer and Fall of 2014. Red Letter Days E.P.
