Kinzie Steele is a contemporary-impressionist collective from the Pacific Northwest. They craft instrumental compositions of beauty, healing, & space using piano, guitar, and two percussionists on drumsets and gongs. Inspired by the surreal impressions of Claude Debussy and the textured voicings of psychedelic rock, their compositions sail freely through genres and virtuosic expressions to expand the piano genre outside of its traditional classical and jazz settings. Originally a piano/drums duo of Seth Kinzie (Plum Sutra) and Andy Steele (Catskills), Kinzie Steele's debut record, “When I Was a Tree,” was released in 2018. When Siberian Russian Label Shum Derevyev Records re-released it on cassette in 2021, they declared, “Utmost Virtuosity with a grand piano and a drum kit… Meditations about the design and harmony of the Universe.” For the new quartet, Seth and Andy have been joined by Dan Galucki (Wooden Indian Burial Ground) on drums and Ben Walden (Taco Tapes) on electric guitar. Their sophomore album, recorded in Astoria, OR with a string quartet, was released in November, 2025.
