Kevin Brawley

Hello. I'm Kevin Brawley. This is my bio. You are reading it because you just clicked the tab labeled "bio."

In November of 2010, I released my second full length LP called “One in Ten” on Copper Mind Records. My life has been relatively drama free for the past few years, so I’ve had to draw inspiration from other places. The aforementioned lack of drama really forced me to approach my writing process differently, which in turn produced a different sound to this record. "One in Ten" expands on the ambient acoustic sound of my first release, 2007’s “Waltzing on Eggshells.” If you are listening closely, you may notice the addition of electric guitar, drum loops, saxophone, violin, and even pipe organ. Being a music major at UNCC exposed me to all these fantastic styles of music and ways of singing and playing I had never considered before.

Recently, I was handpicked by the directors of the independent film “Call Center” to write and compose the film’s theme song ("The Numbers Game") and entire underscore. Since the film’s release, my music has been featured at film festivals all over the country and around the world. The movie is quite funny, if you feel like watching it.

Since relocating to North Carolina from Akron, OH (home of LeBron James, Chrissy Hynde, and rubber) with my wife and daughter, I have been fortunate enough to become a regular performer in the greater Charlotte area the old fashioned way – by working hard and playing often. I come armed with a full arsenal of vintage and state of the art effects, but I never let the technology get in the way of the song. There’s only so much ‘guy with a guitar who sings’ someone can take so I try and offer something a bit left of center. Something you can go home and talk about.

What I do is not rocket surgery, but I do put an absurd amount of energy, thought, and preparation into it. How could you not enjoy playing music for a living? I think it’s that enjoyment, and just a good feeling that comes across when I play.

...hopefully...

And THAT is my bio. If you desire more, here is a picture of me in a sombrero wearing a fake moustache.
