Raised in North Carolina, tested in Brooklyn, and based in Nashville, Americana crooner Kevin Daniel is set on making his brand of Y’allternative Rock mainstay of American venues. The songwriter and multi-instrumentalist brings southern rock, gospel, and blues to barrooms of the southeast and beyond. But Daniel wasn’t always chasing his dreams.In the winter of 2013, during a dinner party in Bushwick, Brooklyn, Kevin received a phone call from his sister that would change everything. His mother and stepfather, adventure-seekers and amateur pilots, had been flying back from their mountain house in western North Carolina when their plane had crashed, killing both of them. Daniel’s life was turned upside down, his family torn apart and the world forever changed. During his return to North Carolina to help with family business, and while reliving his parent’s lives through photos, essays, and family stories, Kevin wrote over a dozen songs, all fueled by the grief of losing his parents as well as the celebration of the large lives they were known for. From those songs six were chosen to record, including one written specifically for Kevin’s parent’s memorial service.
