Bio
.. ..Kevin Sekhani, a native of Lafayette, Louisiana, having worked as the front man for such diverse bands as Radio Thieves, Two Minute Sinatra and Parade for the better part of two decades, recently released his first solo album. The result, Sumner Street, is a 13 song tribute to Kevin’s Louisiana heritage represented by an exuberant spirit and affection for southern sounds and South Louisiana traditions. .. ..Joining Kevin in the studio for the Sumner Street sessions is a host of Louisiana musicians including Andrew Duplantis (Son Volt, Jon Dee Graham), Blake Simon (Mike Dean Band and local troubadour Drew Landry) and guitarist Tim Veillon. Rounding out the lineup are seasoned musicians and friends Michael Ramos (John Mellencamp, Patty Griffin, Los Lonely Boys) and Warren Hood (The Waybacks, Warren Hood & The Hoodlums)... Evocative songs such as “Carol Ann” and “Oilfield Tan” (a nod to the Louisiana oilfield worker) are dripping with moss, delivering you right to the levee at Henderson Swamp, while “Ballad of a Lonely Clown” and “Jimmy” would feel at home on the Grand Ole Opry stage. ..Sumner Street earned a ballot spot for nomination in the 2009 GRAMMY® Best Americana Album category alongside the likes of Bob Dylan, John Mellencamp, Wilco, Willie Nelson and other notable artists... ..Kevin has just completed recording and is preparing to release the follow-up to Sumner Street, the mischievously titled Cheatin’ Time. Cheatin’ Time, another slice of South Louisiana-infused Americana, was co-produced by Kevin and frequent collaborator Michael Ramos. ..The new album picks up, thematically, where Sumner Street left off telling stories and lyrically painting pictures of sugar cane harvesting, salvation, and small town life. Both Sumner Street and Cheatin’ Time are a rich, organic blend of alternative country-style Americana and pop. Textured with fiddle, accordion and Dobro, both albums showcase Kevin's Louisiana roots both musically and lyrically. ..With a live show that is a dynamic mix of country, rock and soul, this live show is ideal for both the smallest of stages and largest of festivals. .. ..PR Contact: Shelly Dupré ..410 Communications ..shelly@410Communications.com ..337.962.5288 ........ -

Sending SATURDAY LOVE and LAUGHS Kevin!
A Lawyer in a Mousetrap - They Left $$Cash$$ as Bait
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT LAWYERS ...
How do you get a lawyer down from a tree? Easy - just cut the rope."
"It was so cold last week that I saw a couple of lawyers with their hands in their OWN pockets."
"How was copper wire invented? Two lawyers got hold of a penny at the same time."
"How many lawyers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? How many can you afford?"
"The two partners in a law firm were having lunch when suddenly one of them jumped up and said, "I have to go back to the office - I forgot to lock the safe!" The other partner replied, "What are you worried about? WE'RE BOTH HERE."
"How does a lawyer go to sleep at night? Easy - first he LIES on one side, then he LIES on the other."
LAUGHTER IS THE SPICE OF LIFE!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

Make Things That Matter your PRIORITY Kevin!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT PRIORITIES ...
"PRIORITIES - what's REALLY IMPORTANT -
HEALTH, and doing what one WANTS TO DO -
it's certainly not MONEY.
RE-CONSIDER your PRIORITIES
CHART your COURSE.
SET SAIL with COURAGE."
~ Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange
for it. Establish your PRIORITIES and GO TO WORK!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

Hi Kevin!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT GETTING EVEN ...
"The man who seeks REVENGE digs TWO GRAVES.
One for his ENEMY, and one for HIMSELF ".

THERE IS NO REVENGE SO COMPLETE AS FORGIVENESS!

Have a GREAT WEEKEND Kevin!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT INSPIRATION ...
"It is not the CRITIC who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man
who is actually IN THE ARENA,
whose face is marred by DUST and SWEAT and BLOOD;
who strives valiantly;
who errs and COMES UP SHORT again and again;
who knows great enthusiasms,
the great devotions;
who SPENDS HIMSELF in a WORTHY CAUSE;
who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
DARING GREATLY
so that his place shall never be
with those COLD TIMID SOULS
WHO KNOW NEITHER VICTORY OR DEFEAT."
~ Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President Of The United States
DON'T BE ONE OF THE COLD TIMID SOULS WHO SIT ON THE SIDELINES IN LIFE AND CRITICIZE THOSE WHO ARE ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING! GET INTO THE GAME!

Have a BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND Kevin!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS I LOVE BEING ME ...
"I can't run the fastest
I can't swim the sea
I can't type the quickest
but I love being me
I can't kick a ball
or even climb a tree
I can't roll in the grass
but I still love being me
You see, this is my life
as others would see
they don't know what it's like
to really be me
So next time I'm about
rolling down the street
don't think of me disabled
but someone cool to meet
I have lots I can teach you
I have loads I can share
you will never gain my wisdom
if you just point and stare
So maybe I can't run the fastest
maybe I can't kick a ball
but I wouldn't change being me
not for you, NOT AT ALL."
