About Me

FOR QUICKER RESPONSE CONCERNING BOOKING, EMAIL [email protected] - - - - - - OTHER MUSICAL PROJECTS I'M INVOLVED WITH OR HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH ARE IN MY TOP FRIENDS. FEEL FREE TO POKE AROUND AND TAKE A LISTEN. - - - - - - "Darrin Kobetich is one of those rare treasures in Tarrant County. He plays at great venues around town, has an ever-growing following of loyal and truly addicted fans, but the vast depth of his talent has not yet been realized by the masses which means that if you are going to see him, you had better do it now before fame makes him unavailable. If you ask a fan what kind of music he plays, they will have a hard time answering you. To some it is folk, to some it is bluegrass but with a twist, to some it is acoustic rock and roll. No matter how you define it, it is hypnotic, entrancing, deliciously wicked and if you have a deep appreciation for how quickly fingers can move across a guitar string, it is nearly unfathomable."-Lisa Gail Barnes, fwsistercities.org - - - - - - Check this video shot by Michael Huebner, at Hip Pocket Theater:Darrin Kobetich - Cotton Mouth

If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music…I get most joy in life out of music. -Albert Einstein (Thanks, Laura) - - - - - - - - - -Future famous quote: "I predict that in the future religion will be classified as a mental illness, like a delusional disorder, and associated with illnesses like schizophrenia, or bi-polar disorder." -Kristina Morland - - - - - - - - - - - -Buy some shit from my brother and Kurt.
