Joe-X,

Kevin Chalfant is from my hometown ... Streator, Illinois (pop. 14,500). I think he runs a music studio from a small surrounding town these days. He still plays live now an again as Kevin Chalfant & The Storm ... local clubs and whatnot. I never followed any of his projects, so I don't know his voice all too well, but he's had a nice career it seems.

No doubt, there have been so many great singers. Anderson's voice is so unique that it's usually a love/hate thing, but to me he he's an amazing talent and he's had an incredible career..:worship:
