Ebony Tears...
Largely self-taught on electric bass, there were formal studies on acoustic bass with Richard Schooley, Ph.D. at Fairmont State College.
"I started to really
study music much later than most at age 27. I had devoted most of my early
twenty's to marriage, fatherhood, and coal-mining. In '87 I began to check
music out seriously. Gospel, Fusion, Latin... all of it, and have dedicated my
life to it.'
From '89 to '98 Kevin was musical director for the Kennedy Federal
Correctional Center.
"I must say i learned more about people and music
than I can explain during those 10 years."
In 1998 Kevin self produced, wrote,
arranged and played on his debut cd, Ebony Tears. He had the pleasure of being
chosen as a 1999 recipient of The Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation fellowship for
compostion.
