It’s always been about the music for Kyle Hancharick, a singer/songwriter from

Warwick, New York. His passionate performances are punctuated by a crisp acoustic

guitar and soaring tenor vocals. This is best shown in his 2018 EP “Breathe,” a four

song project consisting only of acoustic guitar, bass and vocals. And that’s all that’s

needed for this artist whose roots are planted in contemporary folk music.

Kyle takes in the world, processes it and turns it into song with his own special touch.

He has a unique take on things, a view of the world others may not necessarily notice.

He continues to grow as an artist, sharing his story and messages of love and peace.

Above all, though, it’s still about the music.
