Hi Jerry Lee Fans,

I am delighted to confirm that I will headline the Jerry Lee Lewis Convention in 2009.

I will never forget the kindness that everyone showed me when I was still a schoolboy and attended the '97 Convention. Since then Jerry's influence has helped me carve out a musical career that has taken me all over the world often for a single appearance.

At that first Convention I met Frankie Jean and later on met Jerry himself, Linda and Phoebe. I've also been fortunate to record in Memphis with BB Cunningham & the late Joel Shumaker.

Appearing at the 2009 convention is my way of "paying my dues" to everyone who has helped me. I am going to video the show so bring your brightest clothes and we will make you a star. You can make your own video recordings at the show too, I don't mind - just send me a copy!

I look forward to a great rockin' Convention and as Jerry himself says, "I Guarantee we will have a Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On"

E-mail me with your requests for the show kyle@kyleesplin.com

keep on rockin'

Kyle

 

Here are some pictures of me through the years

This was a great write-up I got in Keyboard Player.

The picture on the left has me playing with James Burton in his Club in Shreveport.

I was 16 then and shouldn't even have been in James' Club.

Playing with the Jerry Lee Lewis band at Jerry's birthday party in Memphis.

The picture on the left is me with the late Joel Shumaker. He played with Jerry for years and despite ill health recorded with me in Memphis. He was a great friend.

Kyle in Las Vegas

Outside the Liberace Museum

It was a great privilege to play Liberace's beautiful "Mirror and Diamond" Baldwin piano.
My "piano ring" and "piano watch" really look like something else when they are beside this piano.
The Liberace Museum is a great place to visit when you are in Las Vegas.

This me me playing at "Bootleggers" a famous place where all the stars from the shows go after they have finished work.

Their "jam" sessions can last through the night.

Great food too!

A few weeks ago I flew to California for a single show - dig my car!

Latest News: I saw Jerry Lee's show at the 100 Club in London, spent some time with the Jerry's band and then flew through the day to Barbados and did a show. Then I caught an overnight flight to Greece and did another show the next night.

Usually I just do two shows a week and as you can see sometimes get time to relax.

CU all in Brighton on February 21st - we'll have a great time. I'm really looking forward to it.
