NEWS RELEASE
VK & LEGENDS OF THE DEEP
********************
Today, Orillia folk/blues band VK, featuring the local husband/wife duo of Steve and Marni Van Kessel, released the official music video for Smelling Like Roses.
In this song, VK & Legends of THE DEEP metaphorically share a unique expression of how your darkest fears can be conquered with hope and conviction. It is a very fitting story and message for the times we all find ourselves living in right now.
The imagery through animation, the engaging story, and the music all work together to captivate and entertain.
‘Smelling Like Roses’ is a track from VK’s third album Charm (July 2019). You can watch the vidoe here.
The Charm album has a bluesy, Americana folk rock feel to it.
VK was nominated for the Blues and Roots Radio World Worldwide Album of the Year in 2018 for their last album, Terms and Conditions.
Their debut album, Doin' Just Fine, was released in 2014; at that time, they were known as VK and The Narrows.
VK & Legends of THE DEEP feature Jamey Heidman, John Lebarr, Sean Murray and Roger Stanley.
Musicians who have performed with VK over the years, whether with The Narrows or Legends of THE DEEP, include Dave Hewitt, Doug Meredith, Matt Meredith, Lance Troian, Jeff Traplin, Jamie Hassard, Steve Parkes, Jason Beers, Sybil Shanahan and Brooke Stewart.
The Van Kessels have their own label, 112 Records.
