The Ravens - Clearwater, FL - 1969 (Kent on far right)
In 1970, after a brief excursion working as an assistant to Jimi Hendrix's personal tailor "Michael and Toni" ), Kent moved to Boston in order to immerse himself in a more "urban" musical environment.
Since that time, Kent has played with artists which include The Allman Brothers Band, Little Joe Cook, members of The Outlaws, Bumps Blackwell, (Little Richard's producer and co-writer of his biggest hits), Cheap Trick, Leslie West, Jon Butcher Axis, and others.
During the 1980s, the emphasis was switched from performance to songwriting. One of the group's most interested in Kent's material was Liverpool's Mersey-era hitmakers, The Searchers, including the song "She's Only Lonely Tonight" in their set list for their US tour as well as their 25th Aniversary concert at the London Paladium.
