Steven Kalas and his band, PaperCymbal play everything from driving pop-rock to tasty, acoustic folk guaranteed to hammer you with melody and take you apart with sheer poetry.



My CD, Finally Here was conceived on the day I decided to quit music altogether. My "I-quit" speech was interrupted by a phone call from Fred Migiliore of Fast Forward Artist promotion. Fred invited himself into my life. Finally Here is the result of my accepting that invitation.

Fred changed my life. He was the missing ingredient. He promotes my career, yes -- but more importantly he transFORMED my understanding of myself. For so long I was a man casting about in the musical universe, trying on styles and identities like so many suits off a rack. Fred helped me find a form, a place, a niche, and a real identity. What's "finally here" is me -- one singer/songwriter instead of many.

Finally Here was recorded at Digital Insight recording studios in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was remixed and mastered at SoundWard Studios in Titusville, Florida by Mark Brasel and Fred Migliore. Together, they coaxed and shaped a quality of sound I had never before achieved. What's "finally here" is a Steven Kalas I had never heard before.
