Kev

About Me

Given his first guitar by his parents as a 4 year old in the middle of Ireland he was the taught D, G and A (all Major) by his father. Now 20 years old and carrying around a few more chords and modes, Kevin is a session musician and composer, aspiring to produce music for films and cartoons (lets face it, cartoons are great!)A believer in the idea that “…singing and music are the spiritual food of the hearts and souls….” And “… ladders by which souls may ascend to the realm on high.” Kevin is working on a portfolio of music of various styles and influence. Inspired by composers and arrangers ranging from Danny Elfman to Miles Davis, from James Taylor to Drumsound and Simon Bassline Smith, and songwriters from Mos Def and Roots Manuva, to Janice Joplin and Jeff Buckley, Kevin is enamoured by music, by the potentialities in every song and by the sheer joy of creating music, be it a personal composition or the work of another artist.Currently touring Ireland with the Kiernan McMullen band and engaged for a series of recording sessions in the summer with various singer-songwriters, Kevin is working, writing and practising away happily, but is always looking for new opportunities to explore new music and learn to play with new musicians. To seek out new styles and new compositions, to boldly play what needs playing on any particular piece. Engaged in a musical adventure and enjoying playing everything he can get his hands on, Kevin can be seen and heard in a venue or on a C.D. near… well maybe not near you but somewhere and that’s kinda cool….Right?
