"Kevin is a brilliantly versatile modern singer/songwriter who can rock furiously as well as deliver languid french chansons in a smooth as silk crooner's voice. There is always something arresting going on in his extremely well-crafted and catchy songs. He deserves to be alot better known." - Gary Lucas (Captain Beefheart, Jeff Buckley, Gods and Monsters) http://www.sonicbids.com/band/kevinmcwhasteele/ www.kevinmcwhasteele.com
