Piano and saxophone—which means one musician can create two completely different sounds during the same event
But the résumé isn't really the point. What matters is what Kevin does with it.
He knows how to let live music elevate a room without taking it over. A piano can sit underneath conversation during dinner. Jazz can give a cocktail hour a little more life. And when it's time to bring the energy up, Kevin can put down the keys, pick up the saxophone, and completely change the feel of the event.
That's where his versatility really becomes fun.
Kevin has been making music for most of his life.
Over more than two decades, he's played piano, saxophone, clarinet, and voice and performed in everything from orchestras to jazz bands and wind ensembles.
But ask him what he loves most about performing and his answer isn't particularly complicated:
He likes seeing people smile.
Kevin describes himself as hardworking, humble, and patient.
We'd add another:
Heart.
“I always play with my heart and people can tell I do. You’re getting a musician that puts his all into it.”
His goal is for people to walk away remembering how the music made the event feel.
Ideally?
He wants the music to give you chills.
