Kevin Windross to release new solo EP, Loud & Clear

Kevin Windross is an Australian singer, songwriter & guitar wizard who has performed on many stages around Australia & internationally including Japan, Malaysia and Singapore. The artist has performed twice at the Japan Music Week Festival in Tokyo (2009-2010). A highlight of the 2010 festival saw him invited to share the stage with Mr Tanigawa, one of Japan's most respected guitarists. Kevin returned to Japan again in April 2011 where he was offered a chance to release new material into Japan's thriving rock market. Thus began the birth of his latest musical offering, the EP Loud & Clear.



Kevin has adorned many stages throughout Australie, including most notably Queensland tours with legendary Aussie guitarist Phil Emmanuel. He has also left his mark on events such as the Frankston International Guitar Festival, the Vintage Guitar Show in Canberra and Easterfest in Toowoomba.

How would you describe Kevin's music? Think chocolate mud ice-cream with raspberry coulis! Yum! Authenticity of sound, with musical and technical prowess. This is no computer-manufactured pop. Just powerful unadulterated drums, solid bass lines and tasty keyboards that combine with Kevin's thundering world-class guitar to give an authentic musical experience uncommon in this day of fabricated froth.

Loud & Clear, a 5-track EP, is the latest ofering from Kevin Windross, whose other albums include the instrumental Standing Outside Circles (2009) and Overworld (2007) with the band Early Warning System.

Kevin's driving melodic rock originates in 70's rock roots, not far removed from Thin Lizzy, Gary Moore and early Toto. The 70's style is brought thoroughly up to date with wall-of-sound guitar, emotive vocals and haunting harmonies. Modern production values also add depth and quality to the overall impression. Think Shihad, Alterbridge, Nickleback or even The Butterfly Effect.

Kevin's Music has been featured in Australian Guitar Magazine and he is endorsed by Berketa Guitars, Swing Guitars, Pirana Amplification & Pedals, & Puretone Strings.

Loud & Clear track-listing: "Empty House", "Soul Keeper", "I'll Be There", "Broken Bridge", ",Take Myself"
