Kinzie Steele is a contemporary-impressionist collective from the Pacific Northwest. They craft instrumental compositions of beauty, freedom, &amp; space using piano, guitar, and two percussionists on drums and gongs. Inspired by the surreal impressions of Claude Debussy and the textured voicings of psychedelic rock, their compositions sail freely through genres and expressions to expand the piano genre outside of its traditional classical and jazz settings. Originally a piano/drums duo of Seth Kinzie (Plum Sutra) and Andy Steele (Catskills), Kinzie Steele's debut record, “When I Was a Tree,” was released in 2018. When Siberian Label Shum Derevyev Records re-released it, they wrote, “Utmost Virtuosity with a grand piano and a drum kit.” For new collective, Seth and Andy have been joined by a 2nd drummer, guitar, cello, and violin. Their sophomore album Bright Violet, recorded in Astoria, OR with a string quartet, will be released in early 2026.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Fredy Andrés is a trombonist, bassist, vocalist, and composer, with a love for building community through the act of playing joyful music.
