Kevin Keys Now !

Kevin Keys in 1998

Songs featured currently in his set range from the late 50's up to the 90's, from good old fashioned rock and roll up to modern day sounds, from Roy Orbison to the Electric Light Orchestra.

Kevin prides himself in concentrating on the 'live' element of his performances, the raw edge of guitar solos and up-front keyboard sounds.

Audiences in general seem to find his raw sound a breath of fresh air after listening to so many 'karaoke-type singers' and 'hi-tech flashing light duos' that are present today.

All of his music is produced 'live' on the night, courtesy of drum machines, synthesizers and sequencers.

Kevin also works using 'dots' ( using the venue's resident musicians ) and supports the Musicians Union's old policy of Keeping Music "Live".
