"Special thanks to drummer Michael Duncan for a drum solo so astonishing, I still can’t figure out how to praise it enough"

“The Kentucky Cadillacs” have recently been thoroughly satisfying audiences in and around the South Florida area and are set to perform in 2008 throughout Georgia, Kentucky, Alabama and NYC. Their live stage show revolves around Dave Van Epp’s incendiary guitar solos and Michael Duncan’s formidable drumming combined with Kathleen Mahoney’s powerful and mesmerizing vocals. Primarily, their show consists of cuts from their upcoming 2008 Indie released EP “Drunk, Crazy & Cryin” but they frequently spice things up with covers ranging from classic Merle Haggard, Billy Joe Shaver and Loretta Lynn remakes to more recent favorites such as Lucinda Williams, Kasey Chambers, Kathleen Edwards, Old Crow Medicine Show and Sugarland. Their performances have been described as electrifying and they make covers sound like they could be originals and their originals are exceedingly memorable and well composed. Between Kathleen’s strong vocals, Dave’s stellar guitar and Michael’s dynamic drumming, this trio’s sound will fill any room. All three members of “The Kentucky Cadillacs” are accomplished musicians and performers.

Dave Van Epp is at this moment one of the most sought after chicken pickin guitar players in NYC. Previously he was endorsed by ESP guitars and was a founding member of rock-a-billy legends, “The Underbellies” in Miami Florida.

Michael Duncan has been at his instrument for most of his life; he started playing the drums as a young boy and is still wailing today. His playing has been called lyrical, dynamic and astonishingly expressive. He was a founding member of legendary Florida bands “Night Train” and “Hell Hounds” who were featured on the Dan Akroyd’s House of Blues radio hour, as well as local heroes “The Tucker Brothers”. His playing is consistent and riveting and he is widely considered to be one of the best drummers in South Florida.

Kathleen Mahoney picked up her classic Gibson JD45 Jumbo guitar when she was just 15 years old. The first thing she did was write a song of her very own (ahhh….”Turtle and Tuna Night”, that was a good one). Over the years Kathleen has been featured on stage and screen as an actress as well as a vocalist. She is an accomplished singer, songwriter and performer of vivid depth and perception. Her lyrics have been described as raw and evocative and her vocals have been known to elicit tears from more delicate members of the audience.
