Kevin Murray

 

cat

As a lifelong student and practitioner of music, Kevin should know better than to breenge into unknown musical territories. However a combination of curiosity and stupidity have helped him overcome any rationale or common sense he may once have had. His musical experiences range from classical to punk and most places inbetween . A habitual improviser and writer, he is generally considered not to be "good boyfriend material", despite a working sense of humour, which he feels should be apparent from both his guitar playing and his singing chops. He believes that while Jazz will probably not save the world, it will make the journey swing.
