Writer's retreat these days! Also, some nice Spotify playlists and more reviews from YabYum, The Revue, Lost in The Manor (London, UK), Velvety (Madrid, ES), That New Jam, and Barrygruff (Dublin, IRE).

My favs:

"...Fitted with sweet licks, addicting riffs, ballsy swagger and a stomping beat and groove, this is a sumptuous slice of retro rock ‘n roll cool. The confidence and ambition of both the arrangement and song, makes for an irresistible three-minutes of stellar songwriting and rock and roll."
- Barrygruff - Dublin, Ireland

"Kevin McWha Steele’s new single, “Les Choses Sont Pas Si Simples”, might sound like it’s coming to you straight from a Parisian cafe, but channels Serge Gainsbourg straight into Brooklyn..."
- YabYum West - Phoenix, AZ

"(Front Page News) I'm a huge fan of rock 'n roll and I think you do it well..."
-Lost in The Manor - London, UK
