Kyle Bagwell is a singer-songwriter living in Northern California and hailing from a small town in the Texas Panhandle. His songs combine strong melodies with evocative story telling, reflecting the influences of classic country artists like Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard as well as modern country artists such as Charley Crockett and Colter Wall. His debut EP, Love's Gone Again, is composed of six original songs that feature recurring themes of hardship and elusive hope.
Highlights of the EP include The Devil Must Play, an uptempo but despairing song about a man’s struggle with his demons, Outlaw’s Lament, an outlaw song about the long reach of past decisions, and the title track Love’s Gone Again, a sorrowful ballad about lost love and the hopelessness that sometimes ensues.
Bagwell co-wrote the songs on the EP with Kenny Corso, with each song embodying Bagwell’s original melodies and lyrics and Corso’s original guitar parts. The EP features Bagwell’s deep, smooth baritone along with exceptional contributions by Corso (guitar), Andrew Currier (bass) and Darius Minaee (drums). Bagwell and Corso co-produced the EP.
Bagwell is currently at work on a new album. Tentatively entitled Changing Directions, the album explores the emotions that surround difficult life decisions and key moments of change. The songs again build from the foundation of traditional country music, but sometimes also reflect blues, jazz and singer-songwriter influences. More details soon!
With Anna Troy, Bagwell is also in Bagwell & Troy, an Americana roots band. Bagwell & Troy have released two albums and an EP. Their releases contain many original songs, all co-written by Bagwell and Troy.
