Kane Welch Kaplin

NASHVILLE, TN — Kane Welch Kaplin will perform tracks from their latest self-titled album December 15, 2007 at 3rd & Lindsley in Nashville, Tenn. Kane Welch Kaplin, self-produced and painted with the group’s trademark folk-country-blues palette, spans the visceral to the finespun, wringing richness out of both extremes. With the addition of Kieran’s son Lucas on drums, the original Dead Reckoners’ stripped performance will sway and snap like a back porch jam.

To say that Nashville-based Kieran Kane, Kevin Welch and Fats Kaplin are a band might seem like a simple and straightforward statement. Far from it. It’s nearly written into the collective consciousness to assume that individually successful artists only group themselves into bands loosely and with an air of impermanence—and, in the case of the Traveling Wilburys, jokey pseudonyms and little actual traveling. Needless to say, these three—accomplished in their own rights as artists, songwriters and musicians, wholeheartedly casting their fortunes together on the road and in the studio since 2003—don’t fit the profile.Compass Records
