ILL Wind - Dave Kinsman
Episode description
Interview with Dave Kinsman, drummer for ILL Wind. Boston-based ILL Wind was a familiar band on the college and teen dance circuit in New England and New York during the sixties and early seventies. The first incarnation featured Ken Frankel on lead guitar, Richard Griggs on guitar, Carey Mann on bass, local folksinger, Judy Bradbury, on lead vocals and Dave Kinsman on drums. The band originally mixed folk/rock and bluegrass. As the band evolved into psychedelia and blues, Judy left the band and was replaced by Conny Devanney who had been singing in New York City and Jersey Shore clubs. The band had three lead singers, three songwriters and their songs started to feature complex three part harmonies and long instrumental jams.
Interview features clips from their classic 1968 ABC LP release "Flashes".
