Wine & Reverb

With Susan Sandel and Kevin Karrick

Overview

About

Susan Sandel is accompanied by guitarist/vocalist Kevin Karrick to form the core of Wine & Reverb. As a duo, they can be reminiscent of the classic duo recordings of Joe Pass and Ella Fitzgerald, and James Taylor with Carol King, yet preserving a twist of originality by arranging the music as if it were theirs. Susan has a wealth of experience in vocal music and acting for theater and film, and Kevin lends his experience as a band leader, vocalist, and guitarist to lead for a magical musical experience.

As an ensemble, they are joined with upright bass, and on occasion, a 4th guest member on violin or a woodwind instrument. Checkout out our quartet concert video!

The name Wine & Reverb stems from a love of good wine, fine dining, the wonderful wineries of the Northwest, and great music with just a little reverb.

“I am super excited about the chemistry that Susan and I share in music and on stage. It's such a thrill to work with a vocalist that understands performing arts and sings with such musical prowess.” - Kevin
