The Dead Reckoners
The artist owned label/cooperative Dead Reckoning Records is one of the great artistic and critical successes in independent roots music. While primarily a vehicle for Kieran Kane and Kevin Welch, the label has also released music by Tammy Rodgers, David Olney and Harry Stinson.
Together Kieran Kane, Kevin Welch and Fats Kaplin are known as the Dead Reckoners. They'll be appearing in the Chicago area this week. This show will be more along the lines of a songwriters-in-the-round with each artist playing his songs and with plenty of storytelling in between. A must see for any neophyte songwriter. The show is this Friday, Feb. 2 at Fitzgerald's in Berwyn. Here's a sampling of what you might see, Kevin Welch's "Anna Lise Please":
