ROCK: Acoustic, POP: with Live-band Production



Details:
Their name is pronounced âKe-pah-no Green,â and Kepano Green is the acoustic pop/rock duo of Paul Duncan and Josh Kauffman. Their original sound is a tight and powerful blend of soaring harmonies and inspiring musicianship. These guys are outstanding even as soloists, but their memorable melodies, their mature songwriting about faith and love, and their cohesive, rhythmic instrumentation makes them stand out from their peers.

Kepano Green was birthed out of the Chicago-land coffeehouse scene when Duncan and Kauffman began collaborating while attending Wheaton College in the late 90âs. Their first album, recorded live in their senior year, sold out of its first printing within weeks of its release and earmarked Kepano Green as one of the best bands you may have never heard.

Since relocating to the much warmer Los Angeles area, Kepano Green has toured the country extensively and released 3 full length albums whose combined CD sales have surpassed 20,000 units sold independently at concerts and on-line at kepanogreen.com.

Their latest recording with independent label Interleague Records was released at the beginning of 2005. Entitled âValley Drive,â this new record harkens back to their early college days of unplugged, impromptu performances in dorm room lobbies, their music ringing through the halls. Even though the plugged-in full band format of their previous album âWaiting For Daylightâ was a critical success, Kauffman and Duncan have remembered their roots. With âValley Driveâ theyâve returned to what makes this band tick â the simple musical chemistry that happens when these two make music.

Chances are that live in concert youâve rarely heard such quality unplugged singing and playing from just two people (or three, when they play with a percussionist). Their appeal is irresistible and has enabled Kepano Green to play at colleges, clubs, festivals, churches and bars, winning over audiences of all ages to their particular brand of music.

If you like the vocal blend of Simon and Garfunkel, John Mayerâs guitar style, Gusterâs percussive drive, Elton Johnâs piano work, or the Indigo Girlsâ songwriting, then you will probably like the music of Kepano Green.
