Familiar Folk

I forgot how draining it is to sift through music looking for actual talent. But alas, I found someone worth sharing that caught my interest. Kevin Echlin is a Canadian singer, guitarist and fellow ginger. You can hear the Beirut/Fionn Regan influence in his voice, which eagerly attracted me to his music. He also impressively plays the ukulele, accordion, mandolin, violin and oud. Exceptionally folk-y and refreshing, Echlin's music is likable and familiar to my ears, therefore making the strenuous search worth the find.

Kevin Echlin- The Shepard's Demise

I have really been enjoying his covers on youtube, and this Fionn Regan cover is remarkably similar to the original track.
