Kyle's flying fingers in action at Blackpool

KYLE HAS THE STYLE
from the BLACKPOOL GAZETTE

Even before he takes to his piano stool, there is the look of a young Jerry Lee Lewis about this young Scottish musician - so it is hardly surprising when he launches into a set of rock and roll and boogie woogie largely in the style of the legendary rocker.

The son of well known Scottish entertainers, Joss Esplin and Sandra Wright, he has already performed at Lewis’s last two birthday parties and is just back from appearances in Los Angeles.

He tops the bill at Blackpool's Pavilion for the next four weeks. His new CD was recorded with members of the Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On chart topper’s band. He is supremely confident and competent on keyboards.

"Piano-pounding Scot shows he's quite the Killer"

By Bill Ellis

Memphis Music Editor

Coming across like a grandson to Jerry Lee Lewis is new keyboard cat Kyle Esplin. For his new CD, this young piano prodigy holed up in Memphis with Lewis sidemen for a rollicking ride down Sun lane. Esplin himself produced the disk.

It is a showcase of propulsive rhythms and ego-flexed swagger that has made him a draw on the international entertainment circuit.

The way he sends Folsom Prison Blues jumping over the train tracks says he's no mere revivalist. This timeless music is vibrantly alive for the young artist.
