Throughout his more than 40 years of writing music, Kevin has composed several songs and instrumental pieces. A folio titled, Pound That Melody! , contains seven of his pieces for piano. As a founding member of The Etcetera String Band, a well–known Ragtime string group, Kevin traveled throughout the country performing at Ragtime and Folk music festivals, including the Festival of American Folklife in Washington, D.C., by invitation of the Smithsonian. He appeared on all four of the band’s highly acclaimed recordings, appeared in two PBS -TV specials: The Cradle of Ragtime and in concert at Mississippi State University, and on a National Public Radio special report on the famous Kansas City dancer “Doc” Brown. His interest in music research has led to published articles in the Rag-Times and the Kansas City Rag-Time Revelry. He has given symposiums and was interviewed for Uniquely Kansas City, a television documentary on the history of the arts in Kansas City, produced by the local PBS station KCPT-TV. He is currently writing a musical titled Armourdale, based on a true story.
