You Black Kettle

Chicago, Illinois

Robert Chinnici and Mark Meisinger started writing and recording under the moniker You Black Kettle in the autumn of 2007. Bryan Penrod (previously in Blue) joined YBK as a bassist in 2008 (he also plays ukulele, writing and recording as Uke) and adds a more psychedelic punk element. The three have been playing music together on and off for a decade or two.
