Ken Oak Band is an American folk-rock music group based in California.

The Ken Oak Band, described by Billboard Magazine as "soulful" and "calming", are an acoustic duo comprised of Ed Gorski and Ken Oak. Commonly billed as a 'cello rock' act, they consistently captivate audiences with their unique combination of cello and acoustic guitar providing a minimalist backdrop for deceptively sincere songwriting. They have been included on the soundtrack to major motion picture She's The Man, completed five national tours and produced two albums under their own label, Cello Rock Records. With Ed's luscious strumming on rhythm guitar working in harmony with the deep, stirring chords Ken pulls from the cello, their sound communicates directly to the heart of the audience.

KOB have sold over 25,000 albums independently. They have recently completed a month long residency at Hotel Cafe, Los Angeles.

The original members consisted of Ken Oak, Chris Ramos, and Ed Gorski. Their debut album "Symposium", released in October 2005, was the first and only album under this line up. Chris Ramos, formerly the group's lead guitarist and co-songwriter, left the band in December 2005.

The song "Inda" from Symposium was featured in the 2006 movie "She's the Man", as well as in the film's soundtrack.

Ken Oak and Ed Gorski continue performing under the name "Ken Oak Band", and in 2006, the duo released their own album, "Vienna to Venice".

Ken Oak Band are featured in Far*East Movement's album "Folk Music" in their song "Smile."They are also featured in Chinese American rapper Jin's Cantonese album " ABC", in his song "Wun Lern Chon."
