Kevin's music has been played on national fm, am, college & net radio stations, including Los Angeles notable, KROQ FM, has been used in radio commercials & indie films, has appeared with national acts Fishbone, Tammy Diddley (Bo’s daughter) and swapped stories with Elvis Presley guitarists, Scotty Moore and James Burton.

A twenty-year player and student of guitar legend, Bill Harkleroad (Zoot Horn Rollo of Captain Beefheart), and Telecaster virtuoso & The Little Willies (fronted by Norah Jones) guitarist, Jim Campilongo, he continues to search out and find the right note for the right time.
