Steve Kaul and the Brass Kings stomp out some great music

In their fourth album as a band, Steve Kaul and the Brass Kings have not only expanded as a band, but their sound has also taken on some new elements. Fiddler Jillian Rae is the latest addition to the band, and during the recording of the album "Machine" several other local musicians joined in to add to the quartet's solid "West Bank stomp" sound.

Steve Kaul, Mikkel Beckman, Brad Ptacek and Jillian Rae visited the Radio Heartland studio to play some material from "Machine" and talk about the new sound with host Mike Pengra.
