Bio
Raised in the small northwest Kansas town of Colby, Kevin began singing in Junior High School under the direction of his Choir Director and mentor, Dan Commerford, who he credits with developing his singing abilities and love of performing. He sang in the Choir and with other vocal ensembles throughout High School. Kevin was fortunate to travel with the Choir to Vienna, Austria, for the International Music Festival, and was selected to the Kansas All-State Choir as a Senior. After High School, Kevin continued singing in various choirs and groups at both Colby Commnunity College, and then at Kansas State University, where he sang with the Kansas State Men' Glee Club.
Since college, he has sung at various Catholic churches as a Cantor. In 2007, Kevin met Freddie Elliff (aka: Cool Freddie E), who was organizing a fundraising benefit for the St. Anne Catholic Community in Tomball, Texas. Freddie asked Kevin to join him in developing a vocal group who would perform every genre of music. Freddie and Kevin, along with Freddies' daughter, Brittany, soon formed the vocal group Cool Freddie E & The Crew. Current members of the group include Freddie, Kevin, Jo Vonna Hill, and Jenna Burns. They have performed in the Houston area and throughout Texas at Private Parties, Church and School Galas, Weddings, Corporate and Special Events, Reunions, Birthday & Anniversary Celebrations, and Holiday Events. They have also developed a loyal fan following at the well known public music venues Main Street Crossing and The Dosey Doe Big Barn. The highlights in performing with Cool Freddie E & The Crew have been singing for HP Corporate Events at the Venetian Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, and the Four Seasons Hotel in San Francisco. Kevin has had the honor of performing our National Anthem nine times for the Houston Astros, twice solo, and seven times with Cool Freddie E & The Crew.
Kevin has expanded his musical career and developed a huge fan following with solo performances at Mezzanote Restaurant in Cypress, TX, Amore Italian Restaurant in Montgomery, TX, and The Empty Glass in Tomball, TX.
Kevin has always enjoyed singing songs recorded by Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and many other great Jazz legends, but he has developed into one of the most versatile vocalists anywhere, performing Oldies, Classic Rock, Blues, Showtunes, Motown, and Country favorites with equal acclaim and success.
