As I walked in the Mercury Lounge I knew I was going to see a family show just from the name alone, The Kin. Led by two Australian brothers, Isaac and Thorry Koren, the place was packed and the stage was set for an intimate evening. One brother on the keys and the other on the guitar, they took turns singing some songs and combined on beautiful harmonies for others. The sound took me back to old Jersey shore days, think Duran Duran, and by the end of the performance there were lighters in the air. Isaac would often give a background story to a song, to give some insight into the inspiration. The usual brotherly banter was there, pushing each other to perform with more emotion. If you love power ballads and sweet soulful voices check out The Kin as they continue their touring to support their new album Red.
