Kate Karter plays several instruments, but with Off Topic, you can find her strumming the guitar, or being the girl on the keys. She was born and raised a Hoosier, but spent most of her music career as a Floridian. While down in Florida, Karter shared the stage regularly with Mr. Bobby Randall who was a founder of the Sawyer Brown Band, played with The Confederate Railroad, and hosted You Can Be a Star. She opened for numerous great artists; a couple of them being Grammy award nominee Linda Davis, and Craig Campbell. She was also actively in a band called “Arlyn Willett and The Once Blind Band” and did several shows with them. Kate Karter’s debut worldwide released single “Come Home” was recorded at Mainframe studios, by Nathan Smith, who is a Grammy award winner by his work with Dolly Parton. She has since released another single entitled “Party In The Sticks.” Since moving back to the cornfields, Karter has played with several local bands and helped revamp a historical theater. She is now excited and proud to call herself part of “The Off Topic Family.”

Both seasoned musicians in their own retrospect, Chris comes from bands such as Milligan's Island, Guilt Trip, GenX, Gravel Road and Probable Cause.  He plays both Drums and Bass, but most will know him as one of the big local sound engineers, where he had worked with band

Chris and Jeff came together to form what would be come OFF TOPIC. Both seasoned musicians in their own retrospect, Chris comes from bands such as Milligan's Island, Guilt Trip, GenX, Gravel Road and Probable Cause.  He plays both Drums and Bass, but most will know him as one of the big local sound engineers, where he had worked with bands like PS Dump Your Boyfriend, Stillshot, Smash Kings, Blammo, Vinylized, Trapt, Nonpoint, Call me no one and more!   His passion has always been music and when you can't find him at a music venue, chances are he is at a High School Football Game, or at a local Race Track either in a car or working!
