Master of catchy tune
WILL Kevans, UK-based singer-songwriter and master of the catchy pop tune and lyric, plays Hotel Pelirocco 9-10 Regency Square, Brighton, on Wednesday February 3, 9pm (tickets 01273 327055).
Will's song, Dialling Tone, recently won an award in the prestigious International Songwriting Competition.
It has also been featured on a compilation album released by Universal alongside artists such as James Morrison, the Goo Goo Dolls and Keane.
Spokeswoman Sue Williams said: "His unique Nashville-influenced brand of hooky songs has given this performer quite a reputation on the live circuit. He was described by one critic as being 'Ian McNabb meets Squeeze'. Will is very much one of the new breed of singer-songwriters on the new folk acoustic circuit. His heartfelt and catchy songs reflect life's experience and the human condition.
The thinking man's Johnny Cash by way of Nick Lowe.
"The names associated with his debut solo album Everything You Do speak for themselves.
Producers on this album are Ian Grimble (Travis, Manic Street Preachers and The Enemy), Gavin Monaghan (The Editors, Ryan Adams, The Twang) and Bowie/Prince producer Mark Plati (who also mixed the new tracks in New York).
"The album also features slide guitar legend Al Perkins. Guest vocals come from former Beautiful South songstress Alison Wheeler, while keyboard skills are provided by James Blunt's pianist Paul Beard.
Further guitar excellence is supplied by ex Steely Dan and Doobie Brothers guitarist Elliot Randall.
"The band line up features Richard Murray on lead guitar, Leon Cave on drums, Mark Ferguson on bass, Sarah Croft on backing vocals and piano and organ."
