Growing up in Tuskegee, Al., Kevin Adair was introduced to all kinds of music. He said "I can remember lying in bed, listening to everything from Alabama to Johnnie Taylor. I love those old blues licks on top of classic country sounds. That influenced my songwriting and guitar a lot."
Kevin has played music all his life. He started out playing piano, then guitar, dabbled in drums, now playing nearly every instrument you can put in his hands.....all self taught. "I started mimicking what my friends were doing on piano. I had a pretty good memory, and would go home on a little Casio keyboard and play stuff like 'phantom of the opera'.....still can!!(haha!). I was later introduced to guitar, around 12 years old. Still didn't know what a note or chord was, I just knew if I moved my finger on that string, it made a different sound. From that point, until now, I play the same.......but just a tad bit better!"
Kevin has graced the stage with many talented bands and individuals throughout his career, and along the way has written songs with timeless lyrics. Bringing his blend of soulful roots, screaming bluesy guitar and the storytelling of classic country, he mesmerizes any audience.
"I LOVE playing from the hip, ya know? Unrehearsed stuff. That's where the magic happens. That note.....that one lick you can listen to over and over again........yep. That was cool."
