   About kevin scanlon
Kevin began his journey into song-writing in his early teens, and has been a prolific lyricist ever since. The first instrument Kevin played seriously was the guitar, and has since developed a refreshingly traditional finger-picking style that is suited to the songs he writes and performs. Whether it's an original piece or the works of Elizabeth Cotten to Townes Van Zandt, Kevin is able to perform a very authentic sound, especially when his harmonica is hanging from his harness. In the mid 90's, Kevin's taste in music started to shift to historical cultural music. . Walking into a local pub during an open Irish jam would change him as a musician. This music has a simple honesty in both the subject matter and music arrangement, which is what ended up the foundation for Kevin Scanlon as a musician. It opened up a world of new music study, including old European folk music, Irish sea shanties, old country and bluegrass. Logically, his next instrument of interest was the banjo. He developed competent technique in both claw-hammer(old time)and 3 finger(bluegrass) styles. Now Kevin had the tools in his bag to perform century old folk music as well as popular modern music. Add a very unique vocal timbre and lyrics written for the common man about the real world around us, and we have a well rounded, straight forward artist who's message needs to be heard. In the past years, Kevin has toured all over the eastern seaboard playing with a diverse group of artists, as well as solo performing. He has performed with a professional vocal ensemble, a few bluegrass groups, folk projects, rock and roll, and projects in Irish music from traditional to modern Irish punk. Currently residing in rural North Carolina, his art having been tempered by his life experience, Kevin has come into his own. His very original sound is defined and polished. Now all that remains is to spread his message to the public.

Good. I'm double checking to verify that Pisgah pulled another "oops, we got the date wrong that we booked you for but we'll never admit it." I seem to remember being in the same room with you when we booked this gig months back for Oct 2 but I suppose the powers that be want it on Oct 1. Both your and my myspace page show Oct 2 for the record.  Did you ever hear the joke about the musican who goes to Heaven? Yeah, they actually let one in- but they made him load in through the side door so the owners wouldn't see him. Onward and upwards.

Big Daddy wants the lil' Buddha to come on home back to the chicken coop from the Abuse Farm. He's tired of farming and yearns to ingest Vitamin D directly from the sun instead. You're a goombah if you delete this message.
