THE BAND
Kevin Beadles: vocals, acoustic guitar |
THE MUSIC
What if Elvis Costello and Lucinda Williams got in a pick-up truck and drove across America writing songs? They’d probably write about some of the strange characters they meet along the way, such as Mrs. Jones, the bitter divorcee who hauls her past around in a "distinctive" black Cadillac…
And every grievance that she's nursed
They might talk about moments of transformation
You can't argue with water They might tell stories that combine wry humor and bittersweet irony to reveal a unique perspective on life and music. Or maybe Elvis and Lucinda would just kick back, turn on the radio, and groove to Kevin Beadles instead. |
THE HYPE
Kevin Beadles leads an Americana rock band that plays a mix of original music and cover songs influenced by Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, Lucinda Williams, John Hyatt, Ryan Adams, and Neil Young. His music unites classic rock with the back porch drawl of gospel, blues and alt. country. What you get is roots music with plenty of branches. Since his June 2000 debut, Kevin Beadles has performed regularly throughout the Bay Area. His songs have been featured on independent/college radio stations and webcasts from Berkeley to Belgium. The quality of the band’s live show has led to repeat bookings wherever they’ve played. THE QUOTES "Kevin's lyrics are inspired, insightful and quirky. He writes hooky songs about real life and delivers them with a passionate, soulful voice."Steve Seskin, grammy-nominated writer of seven #1 songs "A fresh and talented artist forging a new path in the singer-songwriter genre…the band is phenomenally tight and worthy of note."Linda Seabright, KRCB 91 FM in Santa Rosa, host/producer of On the Road Again!
