Kathy Kamath received a BA in music from UCSB and has been singing professionally in the Santa Barbara area for over 20 years. Matt Barnett is an accomplished singer and guitarist and has played at multiple venues throughout Hawaii and Santa Barbara (I won't embarrass him by saying how long). The Genuine Article musical duo was formed in 2022 out of a mutual love of music featuring soulful vocal harmony. Through our intricate vocal and guitar arrangements, we strive to produce a musical experience that inspires people to sing, dance and connect with each other.

Our repertoire includes an eclectic mix of over 100 folk and classic rock tunes from the last five decades ranging from Joni Mitchell, CSNY and Fleetwood Mac to Harry Styles and The Lumineers, to Eddie Vedder, Incubus, STP and Audioslave. We tailor our shows to the venues we play and the age and tastes of the audience and are constantly adding to our repertoire. We also write and perform original work.
