“Jimmy,” a western swing track that, instead of existing in the vague, timeless place where many of these songs live, is firmly located in a post-Dylan world where a “Subterranean Homesick Blues”-like lyrical cascade can happen.”

-Alex Rawls- My Spilt Milk

“This is solid southern music routed in the songwriting traditions of Texas writers like Jerry Jeff Walker and Robert Earl Keen and the “get off your butt” dance rhythms of  Louisiana from names like Balfa and Doucet.”

-Brad Paul-  Brad Paul Media

Day Ain’t Done creates a home for multiple styles under the guidance of Kevin Sekhani as captain of the stories and songs. Southern swagger struts in to request “Walk Away from Me”, Cajun rhythms get poked by Country guitar riffs in “The Higher I Get”, and huffing hot Cajun accordions breaths celebrate five o’clock somewhere on the title track.
– Danny McCloskey – The Alternative Root

 

 

“Sekhani hits upon a joyously infectious blend of country twang and swampy groove.”

– Peter Blackstock- Austin 360. Co-Founder No Depression Magazine

 “Day Ain’t Done reflects the alternative country movement that has been brewing in live music for years. And while roots rock abounds in the Texas capital, few acts feature the fiddles and accordion the way Sekhani does. Along with them, there is a sense of place that proliferates through the record.”

-Nick Pittman- The Independent
