We are delighted to announce that from Sunday 10th May we will be launching a series of Free Acoustic Sessions to be held in the Backstage Bar at the Green Hotel in Kinross. Commencing around 2.00pm and finishing about 5 ish, we believe it will prove a popular weekly event for all locals and hotel guests alike. We start off with Stevie Agnew and then Elliott Morris. We hope that some of you will come along and support this free event.
Sunday 10th May – Stevie Agnew.
Coming from a musical family, his father is bassist Pete Agnew of legendary Scottish rockers ‘Nazareth,’ it is easy to tell that Stevie Agnew was playing music from an early age thanks to his natural unforced yet varied roots music playing style. He is a terrific guitarist and possessor of raw but incredibly melodic and expressive vocals who is able to bring that little extra nuance to his emotive storytelling.
Wreckin Yard, this is Stevie’s debut solo album and there can have been few better debuts by any singer songwriter. It is a beautifully balanced album of great songs, excellent playing and vocals that are so compelling, every song is an album highlight thanks to the extraordinary lyrical and melodic grasp by Stevie and his co musicians. These include Chris Smith, who played drums, piano, percussion and wrote most of the lyrics as well as producing the album, whilst Stevie wrote the music and takes all lead vocals, although there is a three way split of the writing credit on All That I Can See with Kirsten Adamson who takes the female lead on this duet. Her beautiful harmonies, along with Beth Malcolm, Linda Wilson and Elaine Shorthouse also give a little variety of texture to many of these tremendous songs. Even dad Pete chips in with backing vocals.
