Kevin's songs skillfully combine the sounds of three and four part guitar work, infectious melody and rhythm, heavy Latin percussion, and a touch of jazz.
20th CENTURY GUITAR MAGAZINE REVIEW
"A master of the nylon string guitar who combines the most sonically pleasing aspects of Flamenco, pop instrumental, classical and guitar based smooth jazz, Texas based guitarist Kevin Schaelling made quite a favorable impression with his self-produced album "The Rain in Spain". While living in Texas Schaelling was greatly influenced by the art of Flamenco guitar sounds and the net result is one of the years most relaxing and serene recordings of acoustic guitar jazz."QUOTES FROM VARIOUS REVIEWS
