"Al Muzer"

No matter what your take on the music, the big story here are the amazing lead vocals of songwriter Jeff Rafferty. Huge, gutsy, emotive and arresting with more commercial appeal than a combination of Meat Loaf, Richard Thompson, Roger Daltry, Foreigner’s Lou Gramm, and Jefferson Airplane’s Marty Balin, Rafferty is more than up to the vocal challenges presented here.

Not exactly your every day "rock" band, this North Jersey five piece incorporate tempo changes, second-song-as-bridge insertions, Pink Floydian granduer, Gilmore-esque solos, and mid 80's metal breaks as they bounce from blues to prog to FM rock with bits of soul, blues, and Broadway thrown in for good measure.(kindred-souls.com)

Bio

Kindred Souls is an all original rock-n-roll band currently performing in New York . Their music is fueled by strong songwriting and power-house vocals. Like the very best of rock, the music has shades of blues, jazz, R&B, funk and soul. They ave played at the IMG New York City Marathon for four years running, and become a regular sight at both Asbury Park's The Stone Pony, and in New York's West Village. The band has a great live show that takes the audience through the whole
range of human emotion.

Kindred Souls was formed by singer-songwriter Jeff Rafferty and keyboardist Lon Bachrach. They have written and self produced five albums, taking the time to sharpen their songwriting skills, and have developed a signature musical style that is all their own. The band features the considerable talents of bassist Stan Quincy Adams, Ted Heman and Jeff Samet on guitar, and drummer Paul Lavenhar.

Having released their new CD "Takes Two" in 2006, they have filmed and released a video for the title song, "Takes Two". Also, the band has recently gained global distribution for the album, having released it through ItsAboutMusic.com. Kindred Souls is currently performing live in the New York / New Jersey area. They have been featured at such venues as The Lion’s Den, The Bitter End, and Don Hills, and The Knitting Factory.

Kindred Souls has had great reviews of “Takes Two” by both Tim Louie of The Aquarian and Al Muzer of The East Coast Rocker, who writes: “The big story here are the amazing lead vocals of songwriter Jeff Rafferty. Huge, gutsy, emotive and arresting with more commercial appeal than a combination of Meat Loaf, Richard Thompson, Roger Daltry, Foreigner’s Lou Gramm, and Jefferson Airplane’s Marty Balin.”

The band is now working on songs for their next album, and will be back in the studio to record the CD in mid May. Kindred Souls is in the process of choosing proper management and shopping their upcoming project to several independent and major labels. Look for a release date in the fall.
