Bio:

Kevin started playing piano at age 12 after hearing and elementary school friend wail out some Beatles and Billy Joel. He went home one day and said, "Mom, I want to play like Anthony." All excited my parents ran out and got him this old piano (which he still has today) and lessons begun. After 4 years on and off with the lessons, he stopped. At 18 he unfortunately joined the ranks of the late eighties "Guidos" and went club hoppin'. At 20, he got back into Rock and Roll (mainly because he grew up and grew out of the guido phase). Though never going back to lessons, he continued to play and in turn, teaching himself the tricks of the trade. He met up with the boys from his first band, Pangaea, and wrote music for a couple years with them. The band split and Kevin and the guitar player, John, continued to write music…..still to this day…..calling themselves 27 WEST. They released their debut CD a few years ago and are now working on their second.

Kevin met up with Separate Ways through an ad in the paper, went down and auditioned and guess what……got the spot as lead keyboard player (well, there's only one keyboard player in the band)….Anyway…

Kevin plays with Korg keyboards, Roland module, and female groupies.
