The SteelDrivers have announced that Kelvin Damrell has officially joined the group as lead singer and guitarist. The group’s lead singers have previously included Gary Nichols and Chris Stapleton.
The band posted this message on their Facebook page welcoming Damrell into the fold: “Hello folks. We have some great news to share tonight. We are officially announcing that Kelvin Damrell will be our new singer and guitar picker! Most of you know that we had to part ways with our long time partner Gary Nichols last year. It took us a while to heal up and get it together. To be honest, we didn’t know for sure if we’d ever be able to replace such a massive talent. But we eventually found this young fella from the hills of Kentucky who can absolutely rock the grass! Much like G-Ray, Kelvin grew up singing and playing electric guitar in local rock bands. He’s a great musician. His singing is soulful and from the heart with a big dose of bluesy grit. We’re thrilled to have Kelvin join us.”
