No Philly music project could be complete without including Kevin Killen, considering his large impact on the Philadelphia music scene. So far this year, I've witnessed Kevin solo, accompanied by Sarah Larsen, as part of Brad Hinton's band, drumming and writing for Ali Wadsworth, and drumming for the Levee Drivers. Beyond that, he's part of Psalmships, and Hezekiah Jones. Also this year, he produced Homesteady for Tin Bird Choir and much, much more!
If somehow he didn't get on your radar for any of those outfits, Kevin Killen has played with Chris Kasper (live shows), Chris Bathgate (tour member in 2011), Small Houses (played drums on North), Joe D'Amico (drums live), and Wissahickon Chicken Shack.
So when I asked Kevin Killen to be a part of #CoverClub, I didn't even ask what he might be playing. Kevin is an integral part of such a broad swath of the Philadelphia music scene, he would have so much to pick from through his years of being involved!
While recording the sessio, I was a little confused when I first heard Kevin playing 'My Blue Heaven' as I had heard him play it once before. And when I got the back story on the song it was even more complex. 'My Blue Heaven' is a song from Philly scene veteran Ben Arnold. Ironically, choosing from a career that has spanned twenty plus years, the song Kevin chose to cover is unreleased!
So for one Philly legend covering another, check out a piece of some of the best Philly has to offer:
Check out Kevin Killen and other Philly artists including Psalmships, Hezekiah Jones, and Ali Wadsworth this Tuesday, November 21st on the lineup for Philly Sings Philly at The Fire
Who will cover Ween?
