Full album review of Loud & Clear by Keith Pro at Indie Band Guru published on March 25, 2025
Street music or busker music has been a fabric of society since the beginning of time. It takes a special type of person to create a stage out of nowhere and perform for anyone who will listen. The 1970s busking scene of Seattle, and the whole Pacific Northwest for that matter, was led by busker extraordinaire PK Dwyer. What started on the campus of UCLA and Pike Place Market led to a long career exploring the style.
Sadly, the ultimate busker has now left this realm. PK Dwyer’s last busking performance was at the Burien Trader Joe’s on March 2, 2024. He passed away on April 15, 2024 after an intense 8 month battle with cancer. His ashes were released into Puget Sound at Redondo Beach, WA so he will forever be part of the aura there.
As an honor, we would like to introduce you to the final album of PK Dwyer entitled Loud & Clear. The 9 song collection highlights his raw journey of emotions and distinctive voice and playing style on guitar, harmonica and autoharp.
PK Dwyer’s Loud & Clear isn’t a polished, radio-ready affair. It’s a raw, visceral blues experience, a gut-punch of emotion delivered with grit and unwavering authenticity. This album feels like it was recorded in a smoky backroom, the kind where the whiskey flows freely and the stories are etched in the lines of a well-worn face.
