Kevin Lee & The Kings release new single “Wind It Up”

When you hear the new single “Wind It Up” by critically acclaimed veteran artist Kevin Lee and his experienced group of musicians, the words that come to mind are “Big Hook and Chunky Guitars”, but that is not all, this track is what true Rock & Roll is meant to be.

The song is based on a foundation of pure groove and rhythm, taking the listener on a fun filled, action packed  roller coaster joy ride. The Guitars of Kevin Lee & Michael Kurtz and Bass work of  Patti Prendergas create a full blown fury  of mind blowing sound with anon-stop heart beat built on powerhouse percussion of Erik Strommer is, in itself a joy to experience, add to that the lyrical majesty of Kevin’s voice just make it all come together perfectly.

It is no wonder that they make this possible, here is some back story on the bands unique individual members.
