Here’s more about Kevin.
* He’s from the Chicago area, attended Prospect High School and credits his dad, uncle and brother for introducing him to music at a young age.
* How young? His first performance came at age 8, when he played a Blues Brothers song on the clarinet, according to the bio that accompanied one of his releases.
* The clarinet was eventually replaced by a guitar as Kevin, his brother Bryan and some friends formed a rock band named Coventry.
* They performed around the Chicago area and, in 2009, released an EP called “I Said No.”
* These days, Kevin describes himself on Soundcloud as a gritty and soulful singer-songwriter whose songs cross pop, rock and indie genres.
* Among his inspirations, he lists Paul Simon, Jeff Tweedy and Neil Young.
* He’s released five singles since 2018, including “Oh My My,” “Always on the Run,” “Born to Rock and Roll,” “Cursed” and “Austin.” Check out a performance video of “Cursed” below.
* Says Kevin: “I don’t really feel right if I haven’t connected with at least one person at a live show on some level. I think music in all forms, is such a pure vehicle for self-expression and I try not to take that for granted. Not to mention … it’s an enjoyable pursuit, man! I mean that’s why I started writing and playing in the first place.”
