Tom “Satch” Kerans is a singer, songwriter and guitarist drawing on such influences as Tom Petty, Leonard Cohen, and Bob Dylan. Founder of the band the Catalinas, he has opened shows for the likes of Little Steven, NRBQ, and South Side Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. He opened for Roy Orbison four days before the legendary singer’s death. He was runner-up in the 92.5 The River “Rising Star” contest in 2009 and has released six well-received records. Jonathan Perry of the Boston Globe says “Kerans gets better and surer with age.”
