Discography
KLO latest album, Green and Blue, has received airplay on hundreds of radio stations around the world in College, AC, Top 40, and Country formats. Several tracks from the album became 'hits' on the New Music Weekly Charts. 'I'm Not Ready', track 7 on the CD, also broke the FMQB Top 100 in 2009. Their Christmas track, 'Carol of the Bells', was signed to a film and tv contract by Crucial Music.
Ancient Skies, released in 2005, is a ground breaking and georgeous album that has been of great influence to modern music. Although 'Green and Blue' has won awards and recieved airplay, many loyal KLO fans find the Ancient Skies album to be their all time favorite. The album is a concept album and tells a story from beginning to end. It is a perfect example of the beautiful music that the Kevin Lucas Orchestra creates. KLO is different than most bands because their entire purpose and existance is is to create beautiful 'music' only.
