​Kyle Culkin new album “Shades of Trouble” releases on Tonebucker Records, August 8th, 2025.

Kyle Culkin is an American songwriter, guitarist and roots music recording artist. He has worked over the past two decades as a multi-instrumentalist musician and the guitarist for nationally touring acts such as The Jeff Jensen Band. Culkin opened for the great B.B. King on his 80th birthday tour when The King of the Blues proclaimed, "This kid can play"! Today, with years of experience under his belt, Culkin is playing American roots music that projects a truthful authenticity from hard learned lessons of life on the road. He combines a fun and witty sense of humor with the struggles of life in every song. Culkin's critically acclaimed albums include a mix of country, rock, blues, and soul that put a new twist on an instantly familiar Americana sound.

He never overplays his hand and uses taste, tone, and timing to season his lyrics with the right amount of flavor. ​Culkin has enlisted legendary musicians and some of his musical heroes as featured artists with an A-list band (Albert Lee, Johnny Hiland, Jade MacRae, Ted Russell Kamp, Max MacLaury and others) of incredible players for his album “Shotgun Ridge” (2023). Now he’s enlisted his A-list band of incredible players for his fourth studio album that you wont want to miss!
