About Me

Kill Yourspace like I did.

A Californian born and bred, Kevin Garrett first heard the siren call of a career in music while attending Stanford, soaking up the vibrant musical scene of nearby San Francisco. Subsequent moves to Boulder, Colorado and then back to San Francisco provided him with his first opportunities to play for audiences and to front a band, vital steps in his musical metamorphosis. In the process, he learned the hard-earned lesson that he couldn’t force his personal style and should instead foster his individuality as a musician.
Now Kevin focuses on writing unpretentious, emotionally honest songs that relate stories of timeless relevance to his audiences. His tunes are inevitably reminiscent of such lyrical masters as Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, and Neil Young, with the distinctive modern flavors of The Verve, U2, and Jane’s Addiction. He greatly looks forward to entertaining you.
