Now based in Nashville, praised by notables Keb’ Mo’, Amos Lee, Billy Bragg, and Richie Havens, modern troubadour Kevin So displays his formidable creative gifts as songwriter, singer and guitarist on his newest disc “LiFe Solo AKouStic.” The album comes packed with the potent, authoritative folk/blues music that Kevin performed in concert one special evening last spring at Club Passim, the famous subterranean Harvard Square folk club in Cambridge, Massachusetts. [The enhanced disc also includes its predecessor “Along the Way” in MP3 format.] This compelling update in song of Kevin’s life journey in the past decade, covering the years since his father’s and best friend’s deaths, seamlessly weaves poignant spoken remembrances by his mother into the fabric of thirteen memorably melodic, well-crafted original songs that further benefit from his clever and insightful lyrics. Though mostly alone onstage, Kevin profits from guest appearances by three of his Boston-based friends – guitarist/pianist Paul Erlich, harmonica player/singer Harmonica Tom, and lap-steel specialist Jack Kingsley. The album continues its official launch at various venues across the US throughout 2011.
