about
The Kevin Trudo is a singer, songwriter, and musician from Aurora, Illinois who hates singers and songwriters. The idea of a passionate and sensitive writer sharing his songs with an acoustic guitar is nowhere to be found here. Yes, he writes insightful and occasionally heartbreaking songs; those songs have been hummed into a few thousand hearts over the last 15 years and of course he’s a sensitive artist and passionate performer – but ask Kevin and he’ll tell you that it’s supposed to be fun, it’s supposed to rock, it’s supposed to make you move.
The singer/songwriters stopped where they should have started. You take that Great American Song and you give it legs: you make it dance. For that job Kevin brings Meathawk – a ridiculous name for an entirely unsafe rhythm section with Chad Watson on bass and Justin O’Connell banging on a drum kit. These three have played from NYC to LA and from Minnesota to Texas. They’ve opened for the Flaming Lips and been featured on Woodsongs. They’ve played pubs, clubs, colleges and auditoriums. They’ve played basements and day care centers. They are ready.
If a good song can touch someone, it only makes sense that in the right hands that same song can pick them right up, knock ‘em down, and be both beautiful and terrifying at the same time.
