| Kyle Justin's New CD Perhaps you've heard the buzz; it's been spreading like a swarm of hornets through the Mid-Atlantic region. Now it's time for the rest of America to find out why music critics and fans alike are talking about Kyle Justin. While his ever-expanding fan base in the tri-state region are already hip to his talents and appeal, the release of his upcoming CD/EP, "Kyle Justin Live at the Tin Angel" will give discriminating listeners everywhere an opportunity to experience the one-of-a-kind musical stylings of Kyle Justin. Kyle's path to today's promise began with a fascination with the making of music in his teen years. This passion propelled him to Philadelphia's renowned University of the Arts, from which he graduated after studying music composition and jazz guitar. Area music critics have described him as "a true poet" who produces "engaging music". One reviewer states that as an acoustic guitar crooner, "he is no John Mayer clone, instead being closer in heart, soul, and smooth style to a Rufus Wainwright." He has been named a winner of World Cafe Live's "Cream Best of Philly Rising". His songs have been receiving airplay not only in his home region, but also on stations from New York to Los Angeles. His style is all his own, combining elements of pop, rock, folk and blues. All such influences are evident on his new CD, which was recorded at a live performance at Philadelphia's famed Tin Angel. A party to celebrate the official CD release of "Kyle Justin Live at the Tin Angel" will take place on October 7, 2006 at the very location where the recording originated. The CD release party kicks off with a stellar opening line-up including, Joshua Heard Park, The Sisters Three, and Lili Anel before Kyle Justin himself takes the stage. The October 7th performance is also the first of a busy season of appearances at East Coast venues to promote his new material, giving fans an up-close-and-personal sense of his craftsmanship and musical vision. This event and CD are not to be missed. On October 7th the future of this budding star will begin on the Tin Angel's stage at 20 South 2nd Street in Philadelphia. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
