October 20, 2025Absolutely amazing
Kevin was exactly what I was looking for to make this day special. He went above and beyond and learned a few requested songs that meant the world to me. My girlfriend, the birthday girl, was in complete shock rounding the corner and seeing Kevin in her mom's house. Kevin was so easy to talk to and made our day with his performance. We will booking him again in the future - loved his vibe. Thank you, Kevin, for seriously making this performance the highlight of a very special day.

Kevin has performed with us throughout the summer the past few years. Wonderful talent, great response from our guests/staff, and overall just a total dude to work with. I have really enjoyed our time with him and look forward to having him next year.
