Shooter Jennings, with the help of No Depression's Adam Sheets, has started this new musical format movement. XXX is for artists who don't fit into the rigidly predefined genres of radio and music video programming. Kevin is honored to be included in that list of artists. Read more about it here and visit the Facebook page here.

The hits keep coming from No Depression. Check this great review of Sumner Street.
Another great link from No Depression. Scroll down to Adam Sheets's blog entry "A brief observation on corporate-run government, oil spills, and music" (June 10). The "Oilfield Tan" video is also featured there.
"Oilfield Tan" has just been added to the feature playlist at No Depression, the Americana and roots music authority.

Sumner Street landed on the Grammy nomination ballot. We were so honored to be in the first round of nominees, including Wilco, Bob Dylan, John Mellencamp, Ray Lamontagne and Son Volt, to name a few, in the Best Americana Album category.
Another great mention in The Advertiser and a great point to ponder when shopping any time of the year.
Sumner Street is now available at Barnes & Noble on Johnston in Lafayette. That makes two places you can pick up the actual CD other than at shows when we are in town. The other being Johnson’s Boucanière. Stop by and pick one up, please. Send one to a friend or a relative. The CD is also available at Dee's Cajun Gifts & Music in Eunice as well as Modern Music Center in Crowley. The album has gone to radio and here are the stations you can call or email your requests: KBON 101.1 FM
