   About KEVIN BUXTON
Roots musician, songwriter, singer, guitarist, harmonica player, acoustic roots promoter - I wear several musical hats. As for the music I make, well, like most musicians who've been around a while I've acquired a string of favourable quotes (see Album Reviews blog) but, really, just have a listen to the songs on the player and I hope you like what you hear.

Actually, the best quote about me that I think more or less reflects what I do came from a guy who runs a great little acoustic club in Market Harborough:

"Powerful, well-observed songs dealing with unusual subjects, by turns moving, thought-provoking and unsettling. With the observational skills and incisive language of Richard Thompson, Kevin Buxton is above all a songwriter with his own style and agenda. A breath of fresh air." (Steve Rothero, Harborough Acoustic)

Thanks, Steve, I'd like to think that was true, and I hope it is. I do my best to speak with my own voice anyway, and if you're a musician reading this, I hope you do the same.

All the songs on the player at the moment are from the two CDs I made with my old outfit, Kontra Band (RIP, see blog). If by some chance you'd like to buy one or both of them, e-mail me at kev.buxton@ntlworld.com. Officially they're £5 each, £8 for both, but plead poverty and I'll cut you a deal, I'm a soft touch. I'm currently working on some new song demos that I hope to be uploading soon.

If you're interested in my promotional acitivities, check out the Kontra Roots Promotions blog or my first two Top Friends. If you're a musician looking for a gig, get in touch and if you're really good I'll try and find you a slot.

Thanks for dropping by, and keep music live!

Visit www. villagesongs. co. uk and grab the album. 14 tracks, artwork - all for nothing. Not a penny. Get yourself over there and tell everyone you know!
