On the Rhythm Changes Podcast, **Kevin Romain** talks about his longtime creative residence in our local scene including a solo drum record called [*Autopoietic 1*](https://kevinromain.bandcamp.com/album/autopoietic-1?ref=rhythmchanges.ca)forthcoming on the Infidels Jazz label, his band Salience Network, and much more. Raised in Windsor, Ontario, Kevin brings DIY values and "unapologetic" advocacy – as well as coffee roasting and brewing skills at his own initiatives over the years, like the Coffee Bus and General Strike Coffee – to his work as an improvising performer. Some other ensembles he has played with lately are [Only a Visitor](https://www.rhythmchanges.ca/robyn-jacob-only-a-visitor-ep-74/), Itamar Erez's band, the Tony Wilson / [John Korsrud](https://www.rhythmchanges.ca/john-korsrud-ep-102/) band, and the [Madeleine Elkins](https://www.rhythmchanges.ca/madeleine-elkins-guitar-teacher-touring-musician-ep-101/) Trio. 

The release show for Kevin's solo album is [at Hypha Arts on March 21](https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/record-release-party-for-kevin-romains-autopoietic-1-presented-by-the-infidels-jazz-and-the-hypha-artists-association?ref=rhythmchanges.ca).

Kevin has a new co-curated series with Cole Schmidt and the Barking Sphinx society called Lost Dog Sundays at The Hargrove.

Kevin Romain's Salience Network, [which I profiled here at the year-end of 2023](https://www.rhythmchanges.ca/kevin-romain-salience-network/), will perform [at Jazz at the Bolt 2025](https://www.jazzatthebolt.com/schedule?ref=rhythmchanges.ca) (disclosure: Jazz at the Bolt is a client of Will's Chernoff Music services company).

Kevin also [wrote for *Rhythm Changes* in January about Peggy Lee and Cole Schmidt's latest album](https://www.rhythmchanges.ca/peggy-lee-cole-schmidt-forever-stories-of-moving-parties/).
