Loving music, especially live music his entire life, at the age of 53, Kevin picked up a guitar to learn a few songs to play at home. After being invited to jam with some musicians, he was invited to play guitar in one of the covers bands that was being restarted.
Given a set list, Kevin went to work enlisting the help of Chris Delisle, a professional guitarist and teacher in Nashville. After learning enough to play the songs with the records, Kevin realized that would not work playing the songs live with only drums and guitar so he began working on arrangements for only drums and guitar. In doing so, he would record the arrangement with vocals and send it to the drummer for critiquing and approval.
During this time with Covid being in play, open mics were doing everything by live stream.
Kevin began watching these live streams to see how other musicians arranged songs as solo acts. It was at this time his spouse, Christine and drummer friend, Shawn urged him to participate. The first one went well and Kevin was soon invited to do other open mics.
In the process, he also started writing and recording songs which are on all streaming platforms and some radio stations. Currently, Kevin is working on his first EP titled "Kevin Gordon, Who Knew," doing solo performances, playing with "The Bent River Band", and playing guitar for a live band karaoke group.
