Melungeon Records

"Rare are the bands that can make a good song and play really well and it's obvious that your playing skills are better than most of the bands on nowadays scene. Also, rare are the bands that can play with styles like you. I'm glad that still there are creative bands out there who are not trying to sound like hundreds of bands around. Using brain in nowadays music is very rare so that's why I'm glad I can play your music."

from Chicago Magazine by Elizabeth Lenhard

LIFE OF REGRET by Kelly Kessler and the Wichita Shut-Ins featuring Lawrence Peters (Melungeon Records)

"Oh, our cup runneth over. Chicago's blessed and brimming country scene has a new record label named for the mysterious mountain people of West Virginia. Melungeon's first offering is this ambling crooner of an EP by local twanger extraordinaire Kessler. It's whiskey-toned and melancholy just the way we like."
