Kurt’s new CD “Old Friend” has been released in May of this year. It consists of 13 tracks all written by Kurt and they vary in style from Americana and Texas Alternative Country,  to even some Spanish style tunes and Blues. 

To Kurt, being different is what its all about. It’s the variety in his writing styles that let’s Kurt express himself using the many different colors of the different genres and styles in which he grew up loving to giving the listener a fantastic variety. This is a CD you can put on and not be sick of by the third track because every song sounds the same. Its definitely a CD you can  listen to again and again.

 Kurt has always been about writing  a great melody and then trying to do it justice with his expressive  lyrics. On “Old friend” he does just that. From the first track “Lost Highway” he starts you on a journey through love and life, heartbreak, and happiness.

Kurt’s first single “Crazy World” was featured on Austinmusiccity.com’s website lisener’s poll and it won. Since then, it has been played in 8 different countries and has been spun on international web radio sites such as NPR and Heartland radio.

In a vast sea of sound alikes, Kurt has set out to shine with “Old Friend” , and Kurt says its only the start of at least 2 more Cd’s to come in the next two years that are already written with the second being recorded now in studio.
