Stereophile is the latest full length record by singer/songwriter Kelvin Wetherell. The digital release is accompanied by a small format book of lyrics and images. These songs see Kelvin's influences, from Black Sabbath to Gordon Lightfoot to the Wailers, in full swing. Raw, soulful and beautiful are the words most often used to describe his sound. At once mournful and hopeful, Stereophile bears witness to our lost connection, with ourselves and each other, in the crush of the modern age.

To purchase the book and record, please visit the buy link here. It's $16.95 for both. Once you've placed your order, please email us at kdub@kelvinwetherell.com and we'll send you your copy of the book (shipping rates may apply for shipment outside of Canada). Thanks so much for your support!

My Funny Valentine - Frank Sinatra

“We hadden gesproken over buiten en zon. Ik lichtte gordijn op, bewoog reepjes, schitter over plafond – en dacht haar morgen: niet langer verruimend. We gaven naam aan gezichten op foto’s, aan stemmen in aangrenzende kamers, aan haar kinders, kinderen. Ik dacht haar leven: niet langer gekuist. We zwegen.” Hélène Gelèns ligt in een muzikaal bed gelukkig zonder oorlogsTUIG, zonder de politieke klootzakken die het volk in armoede de dood in jagen maar wel met #QuincyJones #BoudewijndeGroot #RolandvanCampenhout #WannesvandeVelde #GeorgeCarlin #TheLau #RobinWilliams #BramVermeulen #JoopVisser #LucianoPavarotti #PaulSimon #Eagles #PaulMcCartney #VanMorrison #ElvisCostello #CharlesAznavour #BorisVian #GeorgesBrassens #YvesMontand #JacquesBrel #SergeReggiani #EstherVanHees #DeNieuweSnaar #BLØF #EefjedeVisser #MylouFrencken #JeroenvanMerwijk #DianaKrall #MichaelFranks #StevieWonder #EllaFitzgerald #AlainMazijn

Grow Forever (Spring 2025 DJ Mix)

This sample from my album of 1940s swing music reflects the deep soul of style of Ella Fitzgerald.

Can't Find That Man  sample

what are u doing new year’s eve (cover)

Here’s a voice we’ve come to know.
Warm, timeless, unforgettable.
Ella Fitzgerald made After You’ve Gone echo through decades.
But…
What if it hadn’t been her?
What if that melody had been born today —
not from a woman, but from a machine?

This isn’t a cover.
This is a question.
A dream. A tribute. A paradox.

Close your eyes and feel.
Could something artificial still carry the soul of jazz?

After You've Gone (1918) | Reimagined Version

“Wij zouden gaan wonen in schoonheid van augustus, surfend op het net vonden we de plek, spraken zacht, medelijden zouden we met die anderen hebben. Die dwazen, die maar werkten. En er zou ook regen zijn maar vooral veel zon. En we zouden weten welke maand in augustusland past. Zwerven zouden wij door wat ons langzaam en dagelijks overstijgt, seizoenen, de ochtend eten, drinken, jeugdig en rijp. En ten slotte zouden we de boel kort en klein slaan. We zouden spelend na de vernieling terugkeren.” Jeroen Theunissen dicht in een muzikaal bed met #CountBasie #FreekDeJonge #BobyLapointe #NeerlandsHoop #JoopVisser #SteveMillerBand #Prince #StevieWonder #AlJarreau #Cher #CarlySimon #VreemdeKostgangers #KrisDeBruyne #LennyenDeWespen #RaymondvanhetGroenewoud #WimdeCraene #EefjedeVisser #SergeReggiani #LilianeSaintPierre #FranceGall #JacquesBrel #CharlesAznavour #RachelleFerrell #JulietteGréco #LouisArmstrong #DukeEllington #EllaFitzgerald #FrankSinatra #BarbraStreisand #JoePass #EnnioMorriconeDulcePontes #AlainMazijn

Bitter And Twisted (Big Band)

Kelvin’s songs lean into life in all its battered glory.

His poetic, image-rich lyrics riff on self-awareness and our commonality in a world distracted. Coupled with music born of a love for rock ‘n’ roll, roots, reggae and old school R&B, the groove that accompanies the message is deep and wide.

“Raw,” “soulful,” and “beautiful” are the words most often used to describe his sound. Kelvin’s voice is timeless, inspired by such greats as Sam Cooke, Nick Cave, Bob Marley and Johnny Cash. His guitar style blends acoustic fingerpicking and percussive, tribal elements

Kelvin’s music has taken him to Nashville, where he cut his teeth with some top shelf producers and players. He’s toured through Europe, across the Great White North, and back. As a result, people all over the world have been turned on to his work.

A multi-instrumentalist, Kelvin’s live show incorporates orchestral elements, live drum/vocal loops, top shelf tunes and a whole lotta love. Picture Gordon Lightfoot hanging with The Wailers at a Black Sabbath concert. It’s a Folk Sabbath kinda thing.

2025 sees Kelvin releasing and supporting Stereophile, the new full length record and accompanying 28 page small format book.

Being solely a songwriter allows me the freedom to write songs in various genres, without being restrained by style, vocal range or gender. My songs are performed by exceptional guest vocalists, with superb instrumental arrangements by Mark Pierce (revelator.co.uk).

A collection of my thoughts but as songs :)
