Bio
Singer and songwriter, Kevin Hyfantis spent his college years locked away in a dorm room or a basement, banging away on a piano and writing lyrics when most would have been partying. This is the kind of persistence and passion that Kevin maintains today, chasing a melody or a lyric and creating music with The Bishops Band. It was in college that Kevin was approached by different bands to play keyboards and he learned how to move an audience. After graduating from The University of Tennessee with a degree in Public Relations, Kevin spent a summer working and rejuvenating in the Dominican Republic with only a bag of clothes and a guitar. Upon returning to Knoxville, he reconnected with former band mate and drummer, Shaun Shuetz and bassist, Nate Donegan and started writing a batch of piano-driven rock songs, which would be included on The Bishops first EP, Blueprints. In order to create a larger sound, the trio called upon the talents of jazz trained rockers, Josh Hobbs (guitar) and Ben Cohen (sax, flute). With a new sound and a broader range of possibilities, the band began experimenting with more challenging material, taking Kevin’s songs which deal with demons, lust, love, and God, and turning out an albums worth of material that is set to be released this fall. The new album was coproduced by Patrick Hines, who was the assistant engineer on Ryan Adams Heartbreaker. The 12 songs on Kevin Hyfantis and The Bishops Band new record are strong and diverse with complex harmonies and hook-laden melodies. When performing the songs live the band presents raw emotion and sexuality, often jumping off the stage to dance with the audience or stomping on a piano. The band promises to wow fans with their live performances and continue creating ground-breaking, original music .. ..Get your own ..free MySpace Backgrounds.. at MySpaceLayoutSupport.com.. .. ........ .. ..MySpace Backgrounds....
