Album Notes

KEVIN SO singer/songwriter "Kevin So is beginning to do for young Americans what Bob Dylan did for the '60s generation. Carving his songs from sweet r&b, hot rock, hip-hop, and folk-pop, he presents his life and times in brash strokes of insight, wit, and empathy." That's what the Boston Globe says about Kevin So, one of the most powerful artists to emerge from the Boston music scene. Making a name for himself as a boundary-stretching singer songwriter, So's original blend of pop, r&b, and hip hop has garnered the attention and praise from notable songwriters Billy Bragg, Amos Lee, Mary Lou Lord, Richie Havens, David Wilcox, Peter Yarrow, and Keb' Mo'.
