Kevin
Kline, Award Winning Singer-Songwriter and Musician.
In
the fall of 1999, Kevin began his solo career and released his first
independent album of all original material. His first solo performance
promoting this album was in November of 1999 in New York City, at the
Bitter End. At a regional level, his album became a minor success, but
most importantly he began receiving several awards for his songwriting.
His two singles "Let it Rain", written by Kline and "Waltz with an
Angel," co-written by Kline and Michael Lee Hunt, received numerous
awards, airplay on both radio and television and Kevin was nominated for
a WAMMY Award for being Washington D.C.'s Best New Artist of 2000.
With
the formation of the Kevin Kline Band, they put together a
brilliant show and performance all surrounded and consumed by the
writing, singing and piano playing of Kline.

End and the Lion's Den in New York city, the Trump Taj-Mahal,
Trump Marina and the Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, Philadelphia's own

Bird Cafe, as well as being featured in showcases for BMI and the

anniversary tour. In April of 2001, Kevin returned home and recorded his
second album "Live from West Street" at the Rams Head OnStage in
